Ferrari's F1 Team was facing a disturbing problem with its Pit Crew. Ferrari decided to take advantage of India's high nemployment rate and hire unemployed Indian youths from the Dharavi slums in Mumbai.
The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how they were able to remove a set of wheels from a car parked in the street in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment.
Ferrari's erstwhile crew took more than 8 seconds with the right equipment. This was thought to be an excellent, yet bold, move by the Ferrari management, and, as most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari would have an advantage over every other team.
However, Ferrari's expectations were exceeded, as during the crew's first practice session; not only were 'da boyz' from Mumbai able to change the tires in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they resprayed the car, filed off the chassis number, and sold the vehicle over to the McLaren Team!!!
