Furious Formula 1 'grid girls' who were fired from their jobs say they've 'lost important income because feminists think they know best'
Alan Dawson

 

* Formula 1 has banned grid girls from the sport.
* The women, now unemployed, are taking one final stand on social media.
* A five-time F1 grid girl says the ban is "political correctness gone mad."
* A stunt driver and former grid girl added that "a lot of women have lost their jobs because feminists think they know best."

 

Formula 1 grid girls have been told to leave motor sports, but they're making one last stand on social media.
Just a few days after the Professional Darts Corporation banned its walk-on girls, Formula 1 followed the same path by banning the use of promo models, commonly called grid girls, commencing with the start of the 2018 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season.
The role of grid girls is to conduct promotional tasks on behalf of blue chip sponsors. They wear clothing bearing the name of the sponsor, interact with the crowd, and carry driver name boards on the grid.
In a short statement on the Formula 1 website on Wednesday, commercial operations director Sean Bratches said the custom of using grid girls "does not resonate with [the] brand values [of F1] and clearly is at odds with modern day societal norms."

Uh if that is supposed to be Scantily clad, then obviously they have not watched the NFL lately... I would call what they (NFL cheerleaders) are wearing scant!

Things like this are just stupid.  If the women were forced or tricked into doing things like this, then I can see an issue here.  But they can willingly do what they want.

Search on Google images.  There are pics with them wearing less and tighter outfits.

Many feminists are becoming more like The Church Lady every day WRT "sexy" jobs but with a different rationale, and on the other end many have zero no respect for women who prefer traditional roles and/or are conservative.

 

So much for all women having a "choice." Guess only Feminist Approved™ choices are allowed.

 

Quite a corner they've painted themselves into.

if women want to do that job then let them do it, if a man wants to walk around in speedos doing the same job go for it..... why should a few vocal people stop someone from being able to have a job like this... if women are ok with doing it then let them... you don't need a person looking over you saying you can't do it... it's their choice

Another example of PC gone wrong. So who they gonna use to hold the grid spot number and be a walking billboard now?

Not that I was looking at them anyways, the cars were far more attractive.
