Just announced today that due to the creeping death that is political correctness and gender equality, when this year's season starts in March there will be no Grid Girls in F1.

Brolly Babes beware.

I know someone who did brollying for BSB and she always said it was good money and great fun, now how are they supposed to earn a living, just think of the kittens etc etc.....

The biking world is less interested in political correctness so hopefully they will ignore F1s current decision.

The PC brigade will take the world over. Sad !
These girls don't do it because they are forced to, they do it because they want to, it is their chosen avenue of income. There have been brolly blokes before, I seem to remember Katia Poengsen when she was racing had blokes. It's just a marketing tool. So, no girls presenting the trophies and champers, no girls doing marketing model work at shows, exhibitions etc etc. This is the sort of move that will dumb down 21st century life forever. I feel sad for the girls that use this work to make a living, life is just goig to get tougher for them.

You think the PC feminist movement give a toss what the biking world is or isn't interested in?

Its a bizarre situation, removing one groups of womens earning opportunity to prevent another group of women being offended

slowly the women who do this line of work will be pushed out of said work which is pretty safe to assume that they enjoy and is decent money

what a world of correctness we live in, disregard the opinions of the people that do it.

It's the ugly ones stopping the good looking ones from earning a wage with their good looks. Jealousy? I think so.

I'll be gutted if they remove them, as that's one of the highlights of the grid part of the race
Political correctness gone mad. I'll just show my objection by watching more porn

Beautiful women are 8th wonder of the world, but what do they have to do on the grid? The whole grid girl stuff is bs.

yes Most "radical" feminists tend not to be brolly babe material. In the name of equal rights, they want those rights removed from the ones that are.

Belongs in the dark ages and utterly unnecessary IMO. Unless of course motorcycling wishes NOT to appeal to 50% of the population at a time when sales are down and the average age of their customers is creeping upwards...

And I got the year wrong too, the Grid Girls are gone already. Will not be there when the season starts in March.

It's a long wait for BSB against that background........

Although it'll be MotoGP that has the most pressure put on it to follow suit.


Darts,
F1.
?

'At odds with modern day societal norms' apparently.

We were talking about this at work. Every bloke over 50 thought it was a disgrace and "pc brigade gone mad". Everyone under 40 either shrugged their shoulders or said about time.
