A little British humour, if you follow England's favourite sport...

...Formula 1! Now, we all know that the Brits love their fast cars and loved it even more with Lewis Hamilton nearly making history in two aspects: the first black F1 world champion, and the first rookie F1 world champion. He was beaten by 1 point by Kimi Raikkonen, FINALLY! As well, this season was mired in scandal when Hamilton's McLaren team was fined $100,000,000 (One hundred million dollars) for using Ferrari documents on their car, a big no-no. Anyhow, after looking at the regular F1 places, I found this lovely joke article that pretty much sums up the F1 spy saga:

The Ferrari F1 Team fired their entire pit-crew yesterday.
The announcement was followed by Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the English Government's "Work For the Dole" scheme and hire unemployed youths from Liverpool.

The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths in Liverpool were able to remove a set of car wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds.

This was thought to be an excellent yet bold move by Ferrari Management, as most races are won & lost in the pits, Ferrari would have an advantage over every team.

However Ferrari expectations were easily exceeded, as during the Crews first practice session; not only were "da boyz from Bootle" able to change the tyres in under 6 seconds but within 12 seconds they had resprayed, rebadged, and had sold the vehicle over to the McLaren Team for four dozen Stella's and a gram of Charlie!!

Anyways, there's more fun stuff. Check out this picture from a Portuguese F1 site.


This roughly translates into:
David Coulthard: There is a conspiracy in favour of Kimi
Fernando Alonso: There is a conspiracy in favour of Lewis.
Flavio Briatore: There is a conspiracy in favour of McLaren.
Rubens Barichello: There is a conspiracy in favour of Michael ... uh no wait... Jenson... oh forget about it!

Anyhow, I'm burned out.


Good night!
