Formula 1: 'Grid girls' will not be used at races this season ....

Stuart Pringle, managing director of British circuit Silverstone, said: "We wholeheartedly support the decision by F1 to drop the use of grid girls - it is an outdated practice that no longer has a place in sport."

Formula 1 2018 season preview: How will new owners Liberty Media change F1?

Many regard as bluster Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne's recent threats to quit F1 if the engine rules and other matters do not go in the direction they want. But while it might be true that Ferrari needs F1, that also works the other way around. Does Carey want to be the boss that loses Ferrari to F1? Unlikely. So Marchionne - a no-nonsense character - has a pretty big gun to Carey's head.

Saturday, 1 November
Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone says the sport's escalating financial crisis could lead to a reduced grid of 14 cars in 2015.

Lotus have denied reports suggesting they could boycott this weekend's United States Grand Prix in protest at F1's financial crisis.

Jenson Button's manager, Richard Goddard, says his client is a "wanted individual" and that he has been inundated with phone calls inquiring about the availability of the 2009 world champion.

Button says he is against three-car teams in Formula 1, stating that it would "lock out the podium" if one team dominates as Mercedes have done this season.

Button is considering a switch to the world endurance championship should he fail to land a competitive Formula 1 seat for next season.
Sources say the McLaren driver, 34, has had talks with Porsche, for whom former F1 racer Mark Webber drives.

Staff working at the Caterham F1 team site in Oxfordshire have been locked out of the firm's premises, the administrator has said.

French driver Romain Grosjean has revealed there is a performance clause in his Lotus deal that would allow him to leave the team.

Lotus have unveiled the experimental wedge-shaped nose they will test during practice at this weekend's race.
F1 has gone mad banning models from the grid saying it's out dated, surely they should have asked models if
They wanted that first.
Lots of models have lost out.
The world has gone mad!

I have said for sometime that F1 has lost the plot. It is hardly worth watching any more and now it is becoming politically correct. :(

was getting boring before they took over
To be honest Mike, the days of just jumping into an F1 car and go racing are long gone, I read a lot of the tech stuff to keep me interested.

I've been as much interested in watching the Friday practice on TV as much as the race itself. You can learn an awful lot listening to the commentary.

Oh dear .... :rolleyes:

Formula 1 will use 'grid kids' in 2018 after the sport decided to stop using grid girls before races.

Groan :bashhead: it's all PC nonsense! As said, who asked all these women if they wanted to lose their jobs. Same as darts. These women are well looked after and have a ball of a time. I see an opening ....... 51 and 11 month slightly balding bespectacled man, in need of a salad sandwich
:popcorn:
