not sure why we keep seeing women from other racing formula's in the F1 Grid girl discussion :?

Shouldn't this room now be filled with pictures of children ? You know, how Liberty/PC Brigade want it..... wait.... now is the time to stop posting pictures.

It doesn't matter what the people want. Its all about being politically correct / showing no common sense.

Can I ask why?

Wouldn't it make more sense to have some young people who are passionate about the sport getting a once in a lifetime opportunity rather than some models for whom it is just a job?

How is sending kids to the grid different from sending them onto football pitches before macthes?
And seriously, if you want to look at pretty women why are you watching a motor race?

Parading children around is tacky in my book... and apparently 77% of F1 Fans.

TBH I have zero interest in football, but I have no idea why they do it too?? Does it make more children watch? If it makes the lucky few life long fans will it make any difference to the number of future football fans? will it entice more families to go? will it boost profits?

and why would you feel the need to lower the tone of a sensible adult conversation?
