#1 Grid Kids
The grid kids will be chosen by motorsport clubs on merit, or by a lottery, from those competing in a karting or junior formulae, thereby making it more relevant for younger fans.
The grid girls are gone as using them was not consistent with the new image that Liberty Media and its CEO Chase Carey wanted to project.
For many, the grid girls brought glamour to mix with the speed of the cars, but as Bob Dylan sang - 'The Times They Are A-Changin'. The grid kids are another change and a welcome one.
