Iknow that changing tires has no relationship to warfare the enigma to me
was that
The Italians were always held up as an example of the worst military in
WWII ( besides the French ) it just seems strange to me that they could be
among the worlds best at something's  and among the worlds absolute worst
at something else. I think it's unusual to find such a wide margin in one
society. Usually a people that have the determination and discipline to
become among the best in the world in any field that involves technology
,precision,hard work and endurance not to mention nerves and pride  would
also be among the worst in an endeavor that would presumably benefit from
some of the same skills. Just an abstract thought . Although it's not
related to racing or cars they also were at the top of the heap militarily
during the Roman Empire . Same people essentially . What a difference 500
years make. ( I know the Roman Empire was far past it's peak 500 years ago
but that's when the Eastern Roman Empire fell.)

   It's hard for me to understand why the Italians did so poorly as a
   military
   force in WWII when I see the levels of perfection in their automobiles
   and
   the performance of this pit crew. I didn't blink and I still missed
   what
   was really being done . I saw the before and the after but it was
   difficult
   to actually observe the "during" it was so fast it's mind boggling.
