In an effort to win the constructor’s title, the Ferrari F1 team fired their entire pit crew yesterday and replaced them with just four lads from Athersley in Barnsley, This announcement follows a recent documentary showing how unemployed youths from Barnsley were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's crew could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of pounds worth of high-tech equipment.
It was thought to be a bold move by the Ferrari management as most races are won and lost in the pits.
However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for.
At the crew's first practice session, not only was the Barnsley pit crew able to change all four wheels in under 6 seconds but within 12 seconds, they had re-sprayed, re-badged andsold the car to the Mercedes team for 8 cases of John smiths, A bottle of stout for the missus and some photos of Jane Mcdonald in the shower
