from elsewhere on the net:
The Ferrari F1 Team recently fired its whole pit crew to employ some young unemployed youths from Liverpool. The decision to hire them was brought on by a documentary on how unemployed youths in the Liverpool area can remove a set of wheels in less than 4 seconds without proper equipment. This was thought to be a good move as most races are won and lost in the pits these days, and Ferrari would thus have an advantage.
However, Ferrari soon encountered a major problem: not only were the lads changing the tyres in under 4 seconds but within a further 10 secs they had resprayed, re-numbered and sold the vehicle to the McLaren team.
