It's all going too far.
What ever happened to freedom of choice?
I have friends who are grid girls and they love it, who are these people that dictate to them/us what we can or can't do!?
I agree with this and people having a choice. If it is banned there is no choice. As soon as we take away choice we take away all the things that made F1 special. We have taken most of these away already so there isn't much left is there? All we are doing is creating robots and a boring generic society.
I'm old school. Not racist or discrimiative at all. However I loved F1 for what it was 10-30 years ago. Not any more....it is boring. All this gender confusion is mental and IMHO it has become too acceptable. Men are men and women are women. Society created this gender confusion by accepting more and more niche genders. I can't understand not being male or female but accept the new world has some adaptions and additions to this. All these niche genders are too much for me.
If the girls want to work in F1 as pit lane/ grid girl as eye candy then let them. They should have a choice if they want to or not. As soon as this choice is taken away there is no option of choice.
F1 used to be dangerous, exciting, the pinnacle of engineering. Also all the ancilieries that went with it were extreme & out there. How are you going to attract a new audience or increase the audience when you take something that is already boring and make it more boring. You haven't got to be a rocket scientist to work which way that is going to go. I'm a petrol head, love everything automotive and don't really watch F1 because it is boring. If I don't watch it how are you going to get non-petrolheads interested. Grid girls are not going to make much difference either way.
