Race car driver physiques are nowhere near as specialized as physiques for sports like football, basketball, short/long distance running, swimming etc. Obviously the drivers need to be in good physical condition, but it’s not a sport that needs a specific body type that would favor either gender. If you can’t…

Yes, because gender roles were randomly made up one day for shits and giggles and everybody else just went along with it because they had nothing better to do for the next 4000 years of human civilization.

This is a pretty laughable cause to take on. If dudes like you were as passionate about putting women in cars as you are about parading them next to them we wouldn’t be having this conversation. I think grid girls would be ok if motorsport entities put any effort whatsoever into recruiting female drivers as well.…

Why are there models involved with racing? Why are models involved with anything? And who are you to say what industries shouldn’t employ models?

Okay great. And? That means we should ban models?

Is there some kind of gun to the heads of these girls?

Well if true that’s unfortunate, but my main issue with this still remains. These girls obviously want to do this, for whatever the return is (prestige, free pit passes, instagram attention to help their other modeling gigs, maybe a combo of reasons), why is it so damn important for you to prevent them from doing so?

HAHA I’m in awe I get to actually speak to the person who thinks he should decide which modeling jobs these girls should be allowed to perform and which they should not. Does their opinion even matter to you nutjobs? Because obviously they think they should be doing it, and I haven’t seen any evidence they are hurt by…

So we can keep eliminating modeling jobs that some feminists deem unnecessary on the assumption they can just get different modeling jobs elsewhere. Makes perfect sense. Your model scales really well. 

Disparaging a line of work (and trying to eliminate it) is not shitting on those who choose that line of work? I guess you should tell those girls this is nothing personal while they’re in the unemployment line, that’ll make them feel better.

Devils advocate here. My friend Liz is a professional model, motorsport enthusiast and owns a killer RX-7. She actually looks forward to the F1 and MotoGP race at COTA in which she is a grid girl.

Why is it stereotypical that girls that choose to model are looked down upon by the very women that should support them?…

Yes, yes... let’s promote suing children on behalf of a billion-dollar industry because you’ve been fucked over by cheaters and have an axe to grind.

WOW! You are representative of why this nation is so divided. Try to put some of your hate aside and use what brain you may have to work toward the good of all the people!

No.

Not everyone goes out of there way to find things to be offended about.

Can you leave?

Nico’s Claim: “I’m a firm believer that genetics are quite a big part of this... I would probably say 66 percent genetics, 33 percent nurtured...”

Alanis’s counterclaim: “But Nico, you didn’t become so good at driving in open-wheel racing’s top level because of your genetics...”

You would be singing a different tune if It was Trump wouldn’t you? Lewis Hamilton is black, therefore he gets a pass from you people, fucking pathetic.

Yes, I am totally right. Since there’s 0% chance you have any critical thinking skills, let me type (slowly, for you) an explanation that you’ll have to read numerous times before it starts to click.
