Grid Girls

[Bazile]

What's your view on the Practice of having Grid Girls at F1 and other motor sporting events ?

In this current era and all the issues to do with how women are portrayed in the media and the public - should this sort of thing cease or is it nothing to worry about ?

F1 bosses are to look into the practice to see if it's a practice , to be continued .

What's your opinion ?

( Needless to say you don't need to be a fan of motor sports to have a view on the subject )

> Can you imagine racing in the mountains all day in the Giro d'Italia, winning the stage, and getting kissed on both cheeks simultaneously by two gorgeous local Italian signorinas.

Mmm, yes ... do they kiss you before or after the double-dose of the asthma inhaler?

Ellipsis, yes, very troubling to read about Chris Froome. Seems like cycling is still pushing the boundaries when it comes to meds.

ellipsis; We didn't resort to such things in my day, the most we took was coffee laced with glucose and cognac, and in the Peak District, there were, sadly, few signorinas waiting at the finish.

Nobody forces them to be grid girls.
Useful opportunity to earn a bit of bunce and a taste of the glamour imo.
