What a fucking ridiculous article.

Objectifying women? THEY ARE CHOOSING TO BE EMPLOYED. They are models. They know what they are there for.

Continuing the stereotype that women cant race in F1? They probably couldnt. They can barely race in Nascar.

Depending on others’ opinions, Formula One’s new bosses could get rid of “grid girls”—an outdated concept in which women line a male-dominated racing grid, for few other reasons than being something to look at. It should go without saying, but having grid girls encourages objectification and gender stereotypes.

F1’s experimented with easing of the harsh gender divide caused having female models on a racing grid with entirely male drivers, like adding grid boys and children. Red Bull team boss Christian Horner told the BBC both were criticized.

Id quote more but it just gets worse and worse. Fuck you Jalop.

I'm OK with F1 ditching grid girls. They added the Monster Energy girls to Nascar this year and it just feels cheap and lazy. I don't think it adds anything to the product.

I dated a girl once who did some modeling and I told her there was no way to not look trashy in front of a car as a model. It's just not possible. :rofl:
