The choice does still exist. Formula E still has grid girls, and hey, if people are outraged about this decision, they are free to try and start their own formula racing tournament.

If a strip club were to rebrand itself to a restaurant, would you say they were removing the choice of the strippers to work as strippers? I mean maybe, but you can't force a company/corporation/organisation to keep a position. Others are free to compete with alternative offerings if they want...

Grid girls that really want to continue working as grid girls can seek out other formula racing venues and work there. They do have a choice. As far as I know, this isn't the FIA (the actual ruling organisation), this is just F1.

I'll try again. Its not about the models, its about how F1 wants to present itself and women. I'm sure plenty of woman will happily get paid to present the weather forecast in a Bikini, but this wouldn't send out a very positive message, again it will reinforce that woman exist primarily to be objectified. So why would a news channel want to do that? What does scantly clad woman have to do with F1?

The only reason why it wouldn't make sense to you is because you are speaking in black and white terms.

"No one is saying objectification is the devils work and needs to be wiped from society"

There is a time, place and appropriateness for everything. Sex is a great thing, its how our society survives. That doesn't mean that we need to show it on Saturday morning cartoons. 

At the end of the day those women are out of a job and F1/Darts fans who liked the soul, culture and entertainment build around the sport, see those very sports lose personality yet again.

The F1 was way better with high pitching V12 engines which requires maximum effort of both driver and engineers, major accidents, great circuits like nurburgring Nordscheiffe and real drivers with actual personalities. 

Instead of this political correct, safety first and speed last F1 we got these days. Hell the freaking track records are all driven in 2003-2006. Because some moron thinks its better to rave with V6 engines. The removal of F1 girls only further the course of F1 being more of the latter.

It's a shame to see darts following the same trend though. Within 5 years the bear tables and booze will  probably be restricted as well. All to make these sports more family friendly and socially acceptable.

The road to removing the objectification means that all forms of art including music and films must be on borrowed time, if these kind of agenda politics follow there natural course. I guess we will be going back to the days of men playing female and male roles. So much for equality.

What is the ultimate goal? Woman wearing full length Burkha type clothing? Will you be shunned the same way a paedophile is in this age for looking at women in the wrong way?

Merit and ability based equality should absolutely be the norm in this day and age. Nobody should have to suffer harassment or bullying. It is a shame the internet makes bullying and harassment much more rampant. The world has never been so divided as the place social media is taking us. These agenda based politics taking over is a double edged sword. No longer a case of right, wrong, truth, morality or ethics. It's a flat out growing hatred between two sides a normal rational person like myself can't opt out of, because I might agree with points of both sides or disagree wholey with both.

We're not at the stage where we can remove sexual desires. Sex has never been so easy to come by. That's not to the fault of men. The world wouldn't be a better place if we were all castrated at birth. Another decade maybe, when they might have perfected manipulating DNA so women can impregnate each other.

People need to use a bit more common sense now, because otherwise there will be more widespread rebellion and partition of society. Maybe they should send men back to mars. It is all such a sad state of affairs.

Choices still exist, but there are less of them available. Unless Formula E is willing to put up more openings, this is a net loss.

It really is sad that people want to limit the employment choices, and the general free will, of other people. If you object to hot chicks walking around next to other people, don't watch or participate. That's the only action in this regard that I can support, as it is an exercise of one's own freedom. Once you try to take opportunities away from other people, because you don't like what they do (or for pretty much any other reason) you've crossed the line, and I no longer respect your position.

Not when they died, but the sport is pretty much riscless these days. Back in the days people lived for the sport. Being a F1 driver wasn't just a business, it was a livestyle. Besides since 2000 there was only a single person that died. In 2014 if I remember correctly on Suzuka. Because from all safety measures, nobody thought it was a good idea to not let other vehicles than race cars on or near the track, without a safety car.

But yes back in the day most crashes where more spectecular, like they are in other races ports like the indie 500. Circuits these days are also manufactured for cars not be damaged or even ending up in the grind isn't a risk since everything is asphalt these days.

Considering all fastest lap times are from 2003-2005 it's not even about speed. It's all about money and having the fastest ride under your ass, so dricing for the right team. During the 20th century we had a different winner almost every season. Why because some drivers where willing to take more risks even though they did not have the fastest car. The last eight seasons a single brand pretty much won by default. Now that doesn't have anything to do with being the fastest or best driver, but with luck.

Now the 1960's 1970's and the 1980's where to dangerous. But between 1995 and 2014 there wasn't a single fatal accident. Nonetheless the sport became more and more restricted from 2007 and onwards. Even when we got a driver who is willing to take risks  (Verstappen) it's more and more getting fround upon, especially by Ferrari. Being the fastest driver should being about being the fastest because you dare to take corners the fastest way, last minute breaking and overtaking. However that driving style isn't rewarded anymore, if anything you get penalties. All leading to the fact that when your ride is faster you pretty much win by default.
