Ferrari hires Aboriginal pit crew

This surprise announcement follows Ferrari's decision last month to take advantage of the Australian Government's ‘Work for the Dole' Scheme by hiring unemployed Aboriginal youths from Moree for their Formula 1 pit crew.

The decision to hire the youths followed a recent ABC television documentary showing how Aboriginal youths were able to remove a set of car wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's regular pit crew can only do this in 8 seconds with the aid of millions of dollars in high- tech gear.

As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari was confident the hiring of the Aboriginal youths would give Ferrari a decided advantage over every other F1 team. However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for during the F1 race on Sunday when, during the first pit stop, the Aboriginal crew changed all four wheels in under 6 seconds but within 32 seconds had re-sprayed, re-badged and sold the car to the McLaren team for 10 cases of Toohey's New, a Holden ute and a quick look at Jenson Button’s girlfriend in the shower.

Didn't need 'The Voice' for that!
