Subject: Why we love sunderland!
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 Employment scheme and employ people from Sunderland.
The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on
how unemployed youths from the Sunderland area 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.
Tony Blair went on record as saying this was a bold move by the
Ferrari management, which demonstrated the international recognition
of the UK under New Labour. As most races are won and lost in the
pits, Ferrari now have an advantage over every team.
However, Ferrari may have got more than they bargained for....At the
crew's first practice session, the Sunderland pit crew successfully
changed the tyres in under 6 seconds, and then within 12 seconds they
had re-sprayed, re-badged, and sold the vehicle to the McLaren team
for 8 bottles of Stella, a kilo of speed and some photos of
Coulthard's bird in the shower.
