FORMULA 1 TO EXPLOIT CHILDREN.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear !


With 'grid girls' having been abandoned by the bosses of Formula 1 motor racing, the obvious question that arises is of who or what should replace them. In their wisdom, it is to be 'grid kids'. God help us.


The children to be used in this unedifying spectacle will apparently be budding future drivers who are currently competing in karting or other junior categories of the sport. This is said to be an attempt "to make the pre-race ceremony more relevant and interesting for fans, especially the younger ones".


What a load of politically correct, utterly meaningless tosh. What is really happening is that the new
owners of Formula 1 are falling into line behind the most recent big media story and using it as an opportunity for self-promotion. The non-existent 'exploitation' of 'grid girls' will be replaced by the real exploitation of 'grid children'.


Appalling.
