Yeah, the grid girls thing.
I'm on the fence.
Its pretty harmless but on the other hand serves no real purpose. I suppose you tend not to notice when you've seen it for so long. For me though, it would seem a bit weird if the rugby players were to lead out by models at the start of each 6N game this year.
Pretty girls are always going to be used for promotional work and I can't see that changing.
The boxing girls seem really 70s though.

Who'd have thought that F1 would copy the darts?
A massive over reaction brought about by a few rich posh twats having their boys night out in the Dorchester a couple of weeks ago. There's some really decent posts on social media today from the girls themselves, saying they don't need anyone to be offended on their behalf as they love what they do.

F1 being disingenuous meethinks. As for everything with that lot it's all about money. They've been pushing into Asia and more Muslim/Conservative countries for some time, that's why they don't give a f**ck about Silverstone. Losing grid girls is a small price to pay for all those Asian dollars.

At least it means F1 has something interesting to talk about for the time being.
I wonder which team will be 1st to bend the rules by using a grid girl to wheel out a trolley jack.

Is this even an issue?
I watch racing for the bike / car competition, I couldn't care less who holds the umbrella / parasol for the rider / driver.
If I want to see pretty girls with little clothes on there are very many websites which cater for that (so I am told)....

It's not like they are forced to do it. Harmless titivation in my view.
I do feel sorry for the BSB grid girls when the weather is baltic though.

If I want to see pretty girls with little clothes on there are very many websites which cater for that (so I am told).... That's essentially my stance. It no doubt started under the dodgy good old days, but its just garnish to me. I don't mind it but wouldn't miss it. |

Look on the bright side. Some of those ruskie grid girls at the Scochi F1 gp were a bit rough, at least we've been saved that.  |
