Ferrari sack there entire pit crew....

[castrolcraig]

just got this sent by e mail ...

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 people from Glasgow.

The decision to hire them followed a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from the Govan and Possilpark areas of Glasgow 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.


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 Govan & Possilpark 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 8 bottles of WKD Irn Bru, a kilo of speed and some photos of Lewis Hamiltons’ bird in the shower

As old as the interweb itself, although Liverpool must have run out of scallywags since the last time I heard it.

That is older and less funny than Bernie. If only castrol could focus his fanboyism on something useful like learning the use of the apostrophe.

I don't think any Ferrari fan would get annoyed at that, it's hardly personal, you could say it for Force India, still would get the same reaction.
