Alright, so let's have a good old discussion on grid girls since Austard complained about the women in f1 or whatever leddit post
What point is there to them other than "stand there in skimpy clothing and look pretty"? What are they there to advertise that grid boys can't fulfil equally well? Why did alt-right meninists go into autistic temper tantrums when TAG Heuer used grid boys in Monaco to advertise their mens watch and sunglasses range? If you want to look at underclothed women 20 times per year why not just watch porn instead of F1? Is the F1 fanbase just too set in their sexist ways to allow any progressive change?
I though we were friends

>Why did alt-right meninists go into autistic temper tantrums
because alt-right meninists go into autistic temper tantrums for no reason
Grid girls are more or less useless, it's just tradition. I think the function of holding the sign should be given to the teams to decide what to do with, so they can sell it to sponsors or let celebrities do it etc.
They are part of the glamour of F1.
No one is forcing them to do it. It's a job they enjoy doing and they should be allowed to do it. Some are very much fans of motorsport and by banning them you remove a viable way for these fans to be a part of this sport in a way they enjoy.
It's the sponsors choice to use grid girls so I have no problem with what TAG Heuer did.
Guise I hate henno too xD
Am I cool like you already?
>because alt-right meninists go into autistic temper tantrums for no reason
"muh political correctness gone MAD"
>Some are very much fans of motorsport and by banning them you remove a viable way for these fans to be a part of this sport in a way they enjoy.
I never said they should be banned. I'm questioning the sexism in allowing only grid girls and painting them as sex objects when the same is not true for grid boys
Threadly reminder
Obviously grid boys are allowed but nobody wants to see them
Its not that I hate him, it's more that I appreciate him being brought to justice
You realize that whole henno-doxx scenario died down, and everyone was telling the doxxer to fuck off because he couldn't go five minutes without bringing it up, and then you came along and had a big whinge.
It's not about henno, we're just laughing at you having the biggest sook about it.

I voted for the only correct answer for you buddy
so look at mascots in football
90+% of the football audience are male and it's a sport of 11 men versus 11 men but they don't have scantily-clad women accompanying the players onto the pitch just because "the audience want naked grillz"
As I said it is a sponsors choice. Sex sells so they pick grid girls unless they have a specific reason like TAG did.
If we moved to what Aussie said where by the teams are given the task of having some form of grid marker holder then we could end up with some teams using grid boys, grid children, celebs, team personnel, cardboard cutouts, fans...etc.
There would be more variation on the grid, more space for advertising and some back markers might get desperate enough to use women only wearing body paint.
I think it would be pretty cool. Red Bull and Toro Rosso would turn up to every race with Dirndl girls. If they used the same people for every race then you would end up with some personalities and better connections between fans and team.
It's how BTCC do it. Jason Plato has had the same grid girl for ages.
And god dammit I just want Mana to have chance.
You put Poo before Toro Rosso. Here's why your wrong.
>The Fat Buddha is a heavy piece shit this year
>Toro Rosso has current Renault PU. Unlike last year which was 2015 Ferarri
But soccer is boring
Oh really? I actually though people cared about what other people say on a internet cartoon board for a second
I never hated him, but I dont like chubby people.
Fuck off nick.
>Look at this completely different sport with a completely different background and evolution
Football has a working class background.
F1 and motorsport in general has a high class and glamorous background.
Football was in shitty mud pitches.
F1 was touring around fucking Monaco.
Of course football doesn't have scantily-clad women accompanying the players onto the pitch. That isn't the image of football.
I know, I went back and forth on how to order Poo, STR, and Renault. I had STR above them first but the Poos seem to come through every year and STR had some problems in testing
The TR looks gud and James Key is a bloody good designer. Having the same design idea as Mercedes can only be a good thing, in testing it seemed like they had the most engine issues out of the Renault teams. So probably expect them to be alot faster in Melbourne.
Also, based Sainz twitter.com
Brazil! Your cacomorphobic! Who would have guessed.
Daniil Kvyat will score three podiums this season.
Reminder Kyvat's 2nd place in Hungary 2015 was the onmly reason he beat Tricky in 2015, which is why the self hating ausfag has no argument comparing points of a poor peforming car when the circumstances got the results seen
>muh heritage
>muh never wanting to move on from archaic practices
F1 is only glamorous because Monaco is a tax-haven celebrity attraction. The pre '70s image of drivers getting their faces covered in oil, dirt and rubber marbles wasn't as glitzy as you think it was, even if some drivers were playboys who had drug-fuelled threesomes after a race
and if you haven't noticed football is every bit of a corporate multi-millionaire's sport in today's era
Yeah.. but rememebr, thickness is different from being chubby..
I don't care about being progressive or striving to correct any perceived inequality. I can take the world as it is. Grid girls are not important but I don't see a need to change things for the sake of so-called progress.
>giving people who disagree with you 1 option
>spreading out the votes of people who agree with you over 6 options
I don't think you thought this out, binlad.
You asked why football doesn't have grid girl style women and I gave you the answer.
It was never part of it's history while it was part of F1's.
F1 was a rich man's playground, that's where the perceived glamour comes from.
F1 is a bloodsport though and has always had some edge and sex appeal to it. Soccer they have breaks for tea with the queen.
It doesn't matter to me if they have grid girls or not but I don't see a reason to be upset about it, who is it hurting?
See why serious discussions dont work now? They are boring and they kill threads.
>"please pay attention to me again"
It's comfy af hue gtfo
just a joke my man, relax a bit and enjoy the stream eh
Brazilian posters should be locked in a container and thrown in the sea.
Tough, but fair.
Sex sells. Football may not use scanty girls but enough other sports do to validate that.
>Cricket have dancing girls on the boundary ropes
>Rugby has cheerleaders
>Boxing has those girls who hold up the signs
>MotoGP has girls
F1 has grid girls. If the girls didn't want to do it, if they felt used or whatever, then they wouldn't be in that career. Most of the time they'd come from modelling agencies, and the girls who model are ones who want to use their bosy and looks to make money
Getting mad about grid girls is basically telling those girls that their careers are shit and they should only be allowed to make money wearing turtle necks and doing male dominated careers like garbage men and mechanics
>players not allowed to hold girls' hands
Made my thinker go choo-choo!
ferrari is good they said
ferrari will challenge mercedes they said
ferrari will win races they said
>what is intentionally missing apexes to throw off the opposition
>what is having no front end
Note the location of the sausage kerb inside the first kerb.
Note the puff of smoke from the inside tyre cause by Gimi being Gimi and having a small lockup going in to the corner, thereby running a bit wide later in the corner.
Note the position of the grand stands in the background.
If we actually compare the cars in equal positions, it doesn't look as good for the Mercedes as it does in the deliberately biased pictures you posted.
(Note the grandstands being equal, and the distance to the kerb)
1 and 3 are mostly irrelevant because its high speed.
2 is where front end in required and Ferrari chokes as you can see
Mercedes has about 2.5 seconds in the bag from testing I estimate.
>1 and 3 are mostly irrelevant because its high speed.
>mfw you just called 2/3 of your own argument irrelevant
I didnt say that, Ferrari is barely matching Mercedes there. Look at the hand positions.
Where the front end is required Ferrari chokes, people were reporting that all over the track, you are never beating mercedes with a flawed setup like that.
Opinion discarded
Fernando is faster than you, please confirm.

Having a bowl of soup right now lads
>8am soup
That seems strange.
I ate a bowl of soup at 3am a couple nights ago
leftovers
You couldn't eat the entire can in one sitting?
It's the idea of having soup for breakfast more than anything.
Unless of course user just pulled an all-nighter.
Is cereal considered a soup? If so I'm having a coco pops soup right now
When I have soup it's never from a can, I just make a big pot and it lasts for days.
no, no it is not
When you guys have soup, do you want a, Roll With It?

Nah lad Gazza was not a hard man at all. He got bullied by Vinnie Jones all match once while at Newcastle. When Gazza went to give Jones a little push back after getting confident he nearly lost a ball. After match someone had let Gazza some flowers. Gazza sends them to Jones in other changing room. Jones sends back a shit covered toilet brush
Reminder.
This.
Gazza wasn't hard he was just a laugh.
Nowadays he is just depressing.
