LONDON - A grid girl, Carolyn Mooney, confirmed the motorsport model has a very important role in Formula One (F1). According to him the figure of the grid girl has another function than just showing the impression of glamor in the track.
Previously, rumors of the use of grid girls in F1 had become the main spotlight last season. F1 CEO, Chase Carey, has made their future doubt after taking over the post of retired Bernie Ecclestone.
Many argue, the use of a grid girl wearing minimal clothing and sexy in sports should be stopped. The reason is not all cultures in every country can accept such dress models.
F1 managing director, Ross Brawn, confirmed the use of a grid girl who holds an umbrella as well as a driver's board before the race will be a very difficult topic of conversation. Therefore, F1 is currently conducting a strong review of its use in sports.
However, the debate got a reaction from Carolyn. He hopes F1 officials stop plans to abolish the use of grid girl in F1 competition. The 41-year-old model claims that they still have a lot of work rather than just looking good and charming.
"It's all about how to interact with the fans. Grid girl is not just there to stand beautiful and take pictures. People can talk about racing and go down to the youth level by asking what they love about motorsport and talking about the race, "explained Carolyn, launching from Daily Record, Sunday (7/1/2018).
"Our job is to make people feel part of the team. Many teams expect the grid girl to have great social media so they can join the team. It certainly becomes another interaction, "he continued.
"I have an education in marketing, and there are some other women working in the field of law. In essence, this is not our primary career. This is just a nice side, "he finished.
