I think if the women involved enjoy it and aren’t being coerced into it, I don’t personally see the problem. It’s a modelling job at the end of the day, are they going to ban modelling now as a “profession”?

Yes, I agree. All for the wrong reasons. If they concentrated on bringing back affordable technology so this would be no issue. All this is doing, is moving the furniture around. It makes no difference to the racing.
