For all you race lovers!?

The Ferrari formula 1 team fired their entire pit

crew yesterday. The announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take

advantage of the UK Government's Youth Opportunity Scheme and employ some people from Liverpool.

The decision to hire them followed a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from the Liverpool area were able to remove a

set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas

Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds with millions of

euros worth of high tech equipment.

Prime Minister Tony Blair went on record as saying

that this was a bold move by the Ferrari management which demonstrated the international recognition of the UK under New Labour.

As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari

thought they had the advantage over every team. However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for.

At the first practice session. the Liverpool pit crew successfully changed

the tyres in less than 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had

re-sprayed, re-badged and sold the vehicle to the McLaren team for 2 crates of Stella, a kilo of speed and some photos of Coulthard's bird in

the shower.
