Formula One will no longer use 'grid girls' in the build-up to Formula One races after the sport's bosses decided the practice was at odds with "modern day societal norms".
F1 promised to review its use of female models at races at the end of last year and on Wednesday announced its decision to change it's pre-race practices.
"Over the last year we have looked at a number of areas which we felt needed updating so as to be more in tune with our vision for this great sport," Sean Bratches, F1's managing director of commercial operations, said in a statement on the sport's official website.
