...now they're bringing in the grid boys.

according to blogf1 today:
The Australian Grand Prix, marking the start of the 2008 Formula One season in March, will the first race in the series to have male and female, erm, grid slot indicators?.
inevitable of course, but i just wondered what anyone else thought about it? are the organisers simply angling for a headline here?

The straight drivers who end up with a guy in front of their car instead of a girl are gonna be mighty ticked off.

I don't think there are any not straight drivers (Gay) in F1. (This is just an assumpion of course and not that there is anything wrong with being gay of course). So looks like someone is going to get annoyed according to Jensenb *LOL* Here is a solution to the problem. Just have female F1 drivers as well. I'll happily volenteer to race for any team including dare I say McLaren, so you can just go ahead and put the male grid slot indicator person in front of my car. *LOL*

Hm, for a ride in an F1 seat, you'd be willing to pimp yourself to your professed archenemy McLaren? Ever heard of principles in life?

Nikon knows me very well. :lol:

(and all this is meant to be a joke because it isn't going to happen so McLaren supporters take a deep breath before you decide to respond :) )

I only put the title's that coincided with McLaren and I was just taking a cheap stab at McLaren Fans's footer. I removed my footer anyway to keep the peace :wink::) .
