The funny thing is the FIA controlled Formula E are still using grid girls, along with BTCC, Indy car and so on. It’s just F1 that has decided to come over all liberal. Why are the other series not following F1?

So sad to here the news about Jules Bianchi, we should be sitting here now contemplating whether he should get the Ferrari drive, which I am pretty sure he would have, such a talent lost at a young age. This just […]
