F1 stopped using♋ ‘grid girls’ after it wa🎃s 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 Spo𒅌rts and MotoGP, uniting the world’s top two-wheel and four-wheel racing series under the same b🦂anner.

Questions have arisen about whether some changes that have been made to F1 byꦫ Liberty could be replicated in MotoGP.

Street circuits, used in F1 as a way to bring the♈ race closer to a famous c🐷ity 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 thin🔥k would be a gesture against women, not in their favour.”

When F1 stopped using grid girls in 2018, they announced that “this 🙈custom does n💯ot resonate with our brand values and clearly is at odds with modern day societal norms”.

But the change did attract some controversy, w๊ith some former grid girls speaking out against ♑the decision.

M💟elissa 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 was already going to pay to watch?

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

She added: “You’re not just standing there on the concrete. You’re meeti👍ng 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 saleswomen at the end of th🧸e day. We need to learn how to talk to people and get people on board with the product.”

But, for now, Dorna clearly h🗹a♎s no plans to change the custom of ‘grid girls’ in MotoGP.
