Ferrari NEWS FLASH.

Modena, Italy:

The Ferrari F1 Team fired their entire pit crew yesterday. The
announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage
of the
British government's "Work For the Dole" Scheme, hiring unemployed
youths from Liverpool.  The decision to hire them was
brought about by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths in
Liverpool were able to remove a set of car wheels  in
less than six seconds.  This is despite the lack of proper equipment,
and compares favourably with Ferrari's existing crew,
who can only do it in eight seconds. This is considered to be an
excellent yet bold move by Ferrari management.  Most races
are won and lost in the pits, and Ferrari expect to have an advantage
over every other team. Ferrari expectations have in
fact already been exceeded. During the crew's first practice session,
not only were the Scousers able to change the tyres
in under six seconds but within 12 seconds they had resprayed and
rebadged the car, and sold it to the McLaren Racing team
for four dozen cans of Stella and a gram of Charlie.
