MARTIN Brundle sang the praises of the 16 strong Ferrari pit crew during the Italian Grand Prix last week after they changed Michael Schumacher's tyres in 8.4 seconds. That's nothing. I stopped at some lights for 5 seconds in the centre of Liverpool last week, and some kids had my hub caps, wing mirrors, radio and my briefcase out the boot. And there was only 3 of the little buggers.

Not sure if you're joking or not madiba - it was Liverpool after all;-)

Topicality is a feature that can make or break a joke.

a) The most recent Italian Grand Prix was 10 months ago.
b) Last week's British GP saw tyre changes by McLaren of 2.8 seconds.

Oh, and...

c) Michael Schumacher last drove in a GP for Ferrari in 2006.
