Ferrari sack entire pit crew (Joke).It has been reported that the Ferrari F1 Team fired their entire Pit-Crew
yesterday. The announcement was followed by Ferrari's Decision to take advantage of the UK Governments "Work For the Dole" Scheme and hire unemployed youths from the Manchester area. The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how unemployed youth in the Manchester
area can remove a set of car wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment where as Ferrari's Existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds.
This was thought to be an excellent yet bold move by Ferrari Management. As most races are won & lost in the pits; Ferrari would have an advantage over every team.
However Ferrari expectations were easily exceeded, while during the Crews first practice session; not only were the 'Manchester Boyz' able to change the tyres in under 6 seconds but within 12 seconds they had resprayed, rebadged, and had sold the vehicle to the McLaren Team.
