Like our retail network, display only.

Seems like nothing to me

Travesty. They looks like wanna-be grammas.

[TswaneNguni]

No grid girls in F1 anymore ??

[amphr1]

Ah the good old days (says the boys, or old men) haha

Well there would certainly be far more colour variation now.

With a friend who used to race in his Porsche. I sent along this wonderful shot of a 917 (I think)…I was distracted.

My shot was from probably 15 years ago at Porsche vintage races...The telling of my age, I asked the ladies to move while I photographed the car...

The sad part is I bet if you asked the girls,they will tell you it was heaps of fun and they enjoyed the experience.not to mention the substantial extra income that they would have received.

Boo-hoo. Plenty of other outlets for adolescent fantasies exist.

LOL I was looking to post this in response!

Stereotypes never ever make sense… no such thing as a NPC each individually thinks exactly what the media and corporations tell them they should!

Triggered?

Ask your sister/mother/wife what she thinks about men drooling over sexualised pictures of women.

Snowflake Alert!

I'm not going get involved in the discussion of whether having grid girls is right or wrong in today's world, but all I will say is that a good friend of mine used to go out with a girl who had done that work from time to time, and I met her on a number of occasions. All I can say is that she absolutely loved the job and was gutted when F1 stopped using them in 2018.

She said it was fantastic as she got to mingle with the rich and famous, occasionally got her face on TV (which was good for her portfolio), had a great day meeting fans/promoters/racing team members, etc, plus she got to watch the race for free. And she said the pay was a lot better than other gigs she did. She actually said she felt incredibly lucky to be able to make a living out of looking like she did, although she said there was also a lot more PR to it than people imagine.

Obviously her experience doesn't necessarily correlate to the experience of everyone else, but she absolutely never gave the impression that she (or any of her friends) needed a white knight to ride in and save her from the career path that she chose. Quite the contrary in fact: she would rant about what she called the "PC brigade" taking away one of the best jobs she'd had.

Sister/mother/wife?? You mean ask your birthing person right? Little offended by how you structured that sentence.

Go away. Go find a Lia Thomas swim meet to watch buddy.

Probably the same as they feel about women drooling over men...

Unless they are hypocritical
