F1 stopped 🀅using ‘grid gir𓃲ls’ after it was taken over by Liberty Media.

But, there are currently no plans to axe the umbrella-holding women from the MotoGP starting grid.

Liberty have acquired 🍷86% of Dorna Sports and MotoGP, uniting the world’s top two-wheel and four-wheel racing series under the sam♐e banner.

Questions have arisen about whether some chan⛎ges that have been made to F1 by Liberty could be replicated in MotoGP.

Street circuꦉits, used in F1 as a way to bring the race closer to a famous city like Las Vegas, is not something that can cross over.

“We can’t tell anyone that they can’t be there.

“Banning umbrella girls I t🐲h🍰ink would be a gesture against women, not in their favour.”

When F1 stopped using grid girls in 2018, t﷽hey announced that “this custom does not resonate with our brand values and clearly is a✤t odds with modern day societal norms”.

But the chan𒅌ge did attract some controver💞sy, with some former grid girls speaking out against the decision.

Melissa James told after losing her job on the grid: “I absolutely loved it. You want me to wear a super comfortable outfit and go to the VIP areas and watch what I wa🔥s already goi🐲ng to pay to watch?

“Yeah, that’s fine by me. It was a dream job.”

She added: “You’re noജt just standing there on the concrete. You’re meeting fans, you’re posing with photos and, because you’ve got the branding on your clothes, it’s going out on Instagram.

“Saying that we’re just a pretty face is absolutely ludicrous. We’re s🦄aleswomen at the end of the day. We need to learn how to talk to people and get people on board with the product.”

But🌠, for now, Dorna𒁃 clearly has no plans to change the custom of ‘grid girls’ in MotoGP.
