jjs 60 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 The Ferrari F1 team fired their pit crew yesterday. The announcement followed Ferrari's decision last month to take advantage of the New Zealand government's 'work for the dole scheme' and to hire unemployed Maori youths. The decision to hire them was bought on by a recent television documentary on how Maori youths were able to remove a set of car wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, where as Ferrari's pit crew can only do it in 8 seconds with the aid of millions of dollars of high tech gear. This was thought to be an excellent yet bold move by Ferrari management. As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari were confident they would have a decided advantage over every other F1 team. However Ferrari got more than they bargained for on Sunday when, during the first pit stop the Maori crew changed all 4 tyres in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed, re-badged and sold the car over to the McLaren team for ten cases of Lion Red beer, an HQ Holden and a quick look at Lewis Hamilton's girlfriend in the shower.

E30 325i Rag-Top 2922 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 That's nothing, McLaren are going to use a gang of Scousers for the last race of the season. These guys are so good, they can remove the wheels and tyres and half strip the car, even before it has stopped moving using just a small bag of tools! As demonstrated on any number of roads in Liverpool when unsuspecting outsiders drive through at "only" 50mph. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
