Gratuitous Chick Pics

…those being the good old days when Formula One had balls, and grid girls hadn’t been banned.

As the US Grand Prix takes place in Austin this weekend, here’s a reminder of what F1 used to look like:



…a.k.a. “Why young men risk their lives racing fast cars.”

And they accuse me of being an old-fashioned traditionalist.
