Just to lighten up the mood... a very funny bit from the Red Bull press release on Friday! ;)
If F1 was ruled by women...
1. There would be a woman driver in F1. In fact, they’d all be women.
2. No grid girls – only grid boys, in short shorts – and only if they look like Brad.
3. Every circuit would have proper toilets, ones with decent mirrors, proper hand towels and perfume.
4. F1 wouldn’t have an unwritten rule which insists women can only work in marketing and hospitality.
5. F1 wouldn’t race in industrial wastelands and urban no-go areas. Instead we’d have the Seychelles
Grand Prix, the Parisian Grand Prix and Fuji would have never got a look on over Fiji.
6. It’s a well known fact that women are better at multi-tasking, so if women ran F1 decisions would be made quickly and they’d be sensible.
7. F1 would have better communication. Women are much better at talking than men and they’d teach drivers to talk openly about their emotions. The phrases ‘for sure’ and ‘obviously’ would never feature in a press conference again.
8. F1 would be better dressed. Swipe gates would be manned by fashion police rather than security and journalists would have to display designer labels rather than a permanent pass. Chanel would sponsor everything.
PS: 9. If women ran F1, there would never be any races, as no-one would be able to decide whether those Giuseppe Zanotti shoes clash with the Stella McCartney uniform and does the colour match the car’s livery?
