Formula 1 Rolex 'grid girls'
This is from 2017/2018. I'm sure political correctness has done away the Rolex Squad

Indeed. Still watching and enjoying the races, but in many ways F1 has seen better days. This is one of them.

What a shame to loose these traditions.
We have now handed the keys over to the ones that preach open mindedness until you disagree with them and then they try to shut you down by having a temper tantrum.

How dare we stop treating women like decorations, right?

Yeah. We traded well paid models for “progress” as on display during today’s pre-race show.

Lol, treating women like “decorations” will never stop as long as there is women who will happily be decoration for money. Obviously none of the young ladies that were “grid girls” were forced to do it. They could say no, they could find another job. It’s not like they’re being forced into some underground Rolex sex trafficking ring. Realistically a percentage are there to hopefully catch the eye of a driver and have a free ride for the rest of their lives. I know these kind of women exist because I was engaged to one a long long time ago.

If a woman can’t take a job that uses her looks or sexuality to her advantage because it doesn’t align with your views is that really promoting women’s rights?
