Ferrari have sacked their entire pit crew in preparation for next season. The sacking followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the UK government's youth opportunity scheme and employ people from Liverpool.
The decision to hire them was brought on 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 this was a bold move by the Ferrari management, which demonstrated the international recognition of skill levels in the UK.
As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari now have the advantage over every team. However, Ferrari may have got more than they bargained for.
At the crews first practice session the Liverpool pit crew successfully changed the tyres in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed, re-badged, and sold the vehicle to the McLaren team for 8 bottles of Stella, a kilo of speed and some photos of Coulthard's bird in the shower.
