Ferrari pit crew sacked
davie h - 26/1/09 at 08:33 PM

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.

In the same vein...

How do you know if you've got Govan lads in your office?





OK - it's an old joke - I'll admit it...

The old ones are always the oldest.
