their whole pit crew to employ a few you guys from Soweto. This
sudden reaction was due to a documentary showing how young Sowetans
could take a car's tyres off within 6 seconds., without any fancy
equipment. Ferrari soon regretted their decision however. The young
men not only changed the tyres in 6 seconds but 12 seconds later the
car had been re-sprayed and sold to the MaClaren team.
Since they no longer had a formula one car to race, Ferrari still
eager to innovate, decided to race a Sowetan minibus complete with an
experienced (yet unlicenced) driver and fare collector, in the Grand
prix. Of course they easily won the championship, since the minibus
weaved its way through the start grid, set off before the lights
changed and didn't bother to change the tyres when they wore out. On
the way to the victory, the new Ama-Ferrari team also managed to
hijack several competitors cars, and pick up 35 passengers at some
notoriously dangerous spots, including blind rises and in the chicane.
Go Ferrari!
