It’s a shame they had to include the women in short tight dresses, imo.
There’s too much objectification of women like that in sport (again, imo)
Presumably those girls, like in F1, were models.
Anyone I know who has modelled (male or female), doesn’t expect to be the face of Stephen Hawking’s next best seller. They take whatever work they can get.
Are they being objectified? Perhaps. However, i’d suggest that by choosing a career in modelling you’re accepting some degree of objectification in return for cash. Does it make it right? Probably not.
These aren’t girls who wrote a letter to their favourite F1 driver in crayon, describing how much they loved the sport and that it was their childhood dream to involved in some way, then Bernie himself invited them down to Brands Hatch, but only on the basis they turned up in bikinis.
