There are a lot of people who disagree with you and who feel very strongly about it. I'm not necessarily one of those people, but I also don't really feel like I'll be missing all that much if there aren't a bunch of grid girls out there. I don't feel like they add much and it'll be no big loss to not have them. Bike racing is going through a similar thing right now.
I don't care strongly either way, it's just amusing that a great many women lost a gig in the name of feminism. A position that implies they were not capable of deciding on their own what they wanted to do with themselves to earn a living, or socially, or for leisure.

It's already been done.
And it's a testament to how silly having grid girls is.

From a logistics standpoint I think that there are too many people on the grid who only get in the way of team personnel.
When I am Lord Emperor of the Universe, the beautiful people for hire at GP venues bring drinks to the fans as they mingle with the drivers in the meet-n-greet area.

I'm not a smoker nor am I a womanizer, but perhaps I'm the minority who actually misses seeing tobacco sponsorship on cars and hot grid girls... too sentimental I suppose..., but it's probably for the best.
Liberty has agreed with broadcasters to move the start times of all races and some sessions during the European rounds and the Brazilian GP to one hour later.
Also, all races will now start 10 minutes past the hour.

I can understand the tobacco advertising ban, but banning women who just wear nice clothes and stand with a sign isn't something I consider to be extreme. It's not like they were in bikinis or forced to do any other work and not being paid
I'm shocked that I actually agree with Angelo on something.Anyway my four cents...
First, while I have no factual knowledge of this, I've always assumed that "grid girls" were spawned from "trophy girls". You know the young woman that you "won" to go along with your trophy. Hooray for women as property... even if just metaphorically.
Second, just like walking up or down a moving escalator, if you're going to a race to see the grid girls, you're doing it wrong! They're not an attraction but rather a distraction.
Third, other then in Japan, a model is not going to make a living just being a grid girl. It's just one of many gigs contracted by their agency. It's not whether or not they liked the job, I'd assume most women that go into modeling like the attention. No it's the ongoing use of them as sex objects and the perception that gives to all hetero males out there with low intelligence and will power who then go on to... well you get the idea.
Fourth, call me weird but I much prefer my titalation in the comfort of my own home... where there can always be a satisfying conclusion for it.
