Drop them or keep them, I don't care. I like the idea of having a grid boy for female drivers. If Simona makes it to F1 next year put some chiseled statue of a man in front of her car, who cares?
The only part that pisses me off is when people try to use the argument that it's objectifying, because even if it is, who is doing that objectifying? Whenever you hear Hindaugh or someone of his ilk rant about how it's time to get past the sexist 70s, no one ever seems to be able to produce any evidence of evil men forcing pretty women at gunpoint into the degrading role of being paid to look good. We just blame the "problem" on mythical sex-crazed men who presumably block any attempt to make grid girls a thing of the past. Was Eddie Jordan being a sexist asshole for paying pretty women to stand in front of his race cars? As far as I'm aware, those women are free to go slave away as a cashier at Walmart if they want to. I don't think any of those girls secretly long to make $2.50/hour as a waitress or to stand on their feet for 50 hours a week in a mall somewhere.
The problem with these arguments is you degrade women far more ruthlessly by trying to stop these things on your own accord then by letting them happen, because all the arguments against grid girls go against the main pro-woman argument, which is that as a woman you have a right to wear what you want and do what you want and as long as you don't hurt others, and no one's being hurt by cutie pies standing in the pit lane except perhaps the feelings of a few women out there who don't get to do that. When someone says "She's a woman, not an object", I say "She's an adult, not a child". You can campaign about how wrong and misogynist and whatever it is to have grid girls, but if you're actively trying to prevent an adult woman capable of making her own choices from doing what she wants to satisfy some arbitrary bullshit moral line in the sand you've drawn up in your own head, you're being a hell of a lot more hurtful to women than a guy looking at a pretty girl at a race track is.
At the end of the day this is a bit much to get all riled up about, and regardless of whether it offends you to see a lovely young woman acting as some sort of smiling and clapping wallpaper, you can take some solace in knowing that each lady dressed up in the home country's most stereotypical dress likely has more integrity than the entire F1 paddock she's there to promote has put together.
