We live in a strange age. An age where this kind of explicit sexuality is deemed fine and dandy...cue leggy models....
But then F1 grid girls are a no go....
Err, hello world, reality check. While personally I've never seen the point in having models displayed at grand prix events (okay so an exception would be hosts at corporate events and the like, hosts of both gender preferably), the above video seems to be celebrated while the girls in the image below are vilified, but in fact I fail to see any difference between them.
Formula 1 has lost the plot. The cars are too expensive, the number of teams competing too few, the races not competitive enough, just about everything is wrong. Changes are afoot, in 2017 tyres will be wider and the body will be modified, maybe some other things too, to be honest I've lost interest after devouring everything F1 since I was a little kid.
For me the most important thing is the sound of the car. Over the decades the sound has evolved to be more like a sewing machine than a fast car. There is something about the cars of the 1950's, 60's and 70's that hits you in the stomach, and it's the sound that does that. As the speeds rose and the cars became ever more technically complex, the sound changed, and it wasn't better. Finally the fans got sick of it and went looking elsewhere. I could see it coming in the 1990's.
To illustrate I've got a video to listen to, it is the sound of a BRM V16; they were used from 1947 up to 1955, listen to this monster and tell me it doesn't make you wet yourself:
