RMweb Gold 57xx Posted February 6, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6, 2018 I suspect there's still plenty of work for models. You're all heart. "Don't worry about the fact you've lost your job you know, the one that you enjoyed doing, the one you took up because you're a car enthusiast. The local drive-thru at McDonalds is hiring. " Did anyone ask the girls what they thought about their jobs? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted February 6, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6, 2018 You're all heart. "Don't worry about the fact you've lost your job you know, the one that you enjoyed doing, the one you took up because you're a car enthusiast. The local drive-thru at McDonalds is hiring. " Did anyone ask the girls what they thought about their jobs? Hang on. These ladies are recruited locally to each race. They are not part of the F1 Global Circus. It ought to be mentioned that in some countries they wear smart and utterly respectable uniforms, probably based upon local national costume. Others are there in a purely T&B capacity, short skirts, skimpy bikinis etc. Every Western society has promo girls, able & willing to brass it out and add glamour to your spectacle. No-one is making them redundant. But class is not the first word that comes to mind in describing them, and class is what sponsors seek in F1 - elitism, not raunch.

Mike Storey Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Yawn... Got to agree with this bloke: "Thankfully i don't have long left on this planet as the pleasure of being alive is rapidly self destructing through PC nonsense normally peddled by this politically driven 'impartial' corporations website." Says it all... Plenty of other websites available for what I presume he seeks. And Kleenex. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Did anyone ask the girls what they thought about their jobs? The nature of that job is that each individual will get about a day a year from F1. In an industry of very short term contracts. F1 umbrella holding is not going to make a measurable difference to the modelling industry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jol Wilkinson Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 The nature of that job is that each individual will get about a day a year from F1. In an industry of very short term contracts. F1 umbrella holding is not going to make a measurable difference to the modelling industry. Several days at least. Training, practise and race days. One Grid Girl was interviewed on BBC News and explained/claimed that the role was much bigger than just parading on the grid. VIP* hosting , meet and greeting events with drivers, etc. Whether that applies to all Grid Girl roles at all GPs wasn't discussed. *VIPs on the grid and in the pits, now that's something that should be done away with.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted February 7, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2018 *VIPs on the grid and in the pits, now that's something that should be done away with. Not just on the grid. Never a race goes by but during the brief race we are treated to views of rock stars, footballers and other irrelevant tossers guesting in someone’s pit. Keep the cameras on the race, please. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
