The Ferrari F1 team

> > The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent

> > to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without
> > proper equipment whereas Ferrari's existing crew could
> > only do it in 8 seconds with millions of pounds worth of
> > high tech equipment. It was thought to be an excellent, bold

> > and lost in the pits, giving Ferrari an advantage over every
> > other team.

> > However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for! At the
> > crew's first practice session, not only was the scouse
> > pit crew able to change all four wheels in under 6 seconds
> > but, within 12 seconds, they had re-sprayed, re-badged and
> > sold the car to the Mclaren team for 8 cases of Stella, a
