Greece harbours mythological hope
August 2012
The Greek government has announced it plans to host a Grand Prix in the near future. Despite being completely bankrupt and on the verge of sucking the rest of Europe into a financial black hole, it hopes to resolve its colossal debt problem by borrowing more money to build a race track.
In a recent interview, the country’s sports minister Konstantinos Cavaras outlined the plans that involve constructing a huge wooden horse in exchange for funding for the new project. Fellow minister Costas Tzavaras also leant his support to the bid and said all members of the government will be praying to Zeus in an effort to convince the world that lending them more money is not the stupidest idea since Williams allowed Pastor Maldonado to drive a Formula 1 car. He also said spending billions of Euros it doesn't have on hosting a Grand Prix would be good for the economy, boost employment, see a huge surge in tourism and put the country back on the international map.
In the highly unlikely event these proposed plans are approved, it would be a huge economic boost for a once great country famous for ancient Olympics and incest.
