=========================================================
Modena, Italy: The Ferrari F1 Team fired their entire Pit-Crew Yesterday.
The announcement was followed by Ferrari's Decision to take advantage of the New Zealand Government's "Work For the Dole" Scheme and hire unemployed youths from the Hutt.
The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths in the Hutt can remove a set of car wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas 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, as during the Crews first practice session; not only were "da boyz from the Hutt" able to change the tyres in under 6 seconds but within 12 seconds they had resprayed, rebadged, and had signed the vehicle over to the McLaren Team!
