F1 stopped using ‘grid gir🦩ls’ 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 same banner.

Questions have arisen about whether some changes that have been made to F1 by Libert♛y could be replicated in MotoGP.

Street circuits, used in F1 as a way to bring the race closer to a famous city꧋ like Las Vegas, is not somethi🏅ng that can cross over.

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

“Banning umbrella girls I think would be a gesture again✃st women, not in their favour.”

When F1 stopped using grid girls in 2018, they announced thaಞt “this custom does not resonate with our brand values and clearly is at odds with modern day societal norms”.

But the change did attract some controversy, with some former grid girls🃏 speaking out against the deci🏅sion.

Melissa James told after losing her job on the grid: “I absolutely loved it. You want me to wear a super c♒omfortable 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 meeting fans, you’re p꧃osing with photos and, because you’ve got the branding on your clothes, it’s going out onౠ Instagram.

“Saying that we’re just a pretty face is absolutely ludicrous. We’re saleswomen 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, Dorꦿna 𝔉clearly has no plans to change the custom of ‘grid girls’ in MotoGP.
