They may not be on the grid, but there will be 'girls' in Austria this weekend. Dietrich Mateschitz, the Red Bull magnate and owner of the venue of this weekend's Austrian Grand Prix, is no fan of Liberty Media's decision to ban grid girls.
"An incredible puppet show," he blasted, speaking to Kronen newspaper. "Formula one has more important things to do than debate grid girls."
Nah... it's a race. This is one of the more irrelevant aspects of the entire weekend. There a reason we stopped talking about this a while ago: Nobody cares.
I don't think it's a non-issue. In a vacuum it is, but we are seeing Formula 1 (and a lot of other things to be fair) being dumbed down and streamlined to be as politically correct as possible, as to not offend any of the SJW's. That is what I'm sick of, personally. Not the fact that the grid girls aren't there, but the fact that they caved to the pressure of a loud minority. And then to make it even more ridiculous, it's being sold as empowering women.
