Just like Marvel, DC and Sony have regarding their comics and movies that tried to please vocal minorities and were met with huge losses on those try outs.

Some people on marketing have been working to promote their agenda and ideals instead of the company best interest.

I can criticize whoever I want, even more when said minority will name call people that don't agree with them as misogynists, rappers, bigots, etc. And sure the F1 leads deserve criticism as well. Still people that doesn't even make the market for that product going there to cause ruckus deserve a lot of criticism.

Take your own advise on creating a new F1 championship with grid girls and deliver to those groups for they to create their own without instead of messing around where they have no stakes. Public like or don't care about the grid girls, the girls like the job, the racers and companies were ok with it, so it is a clear case of external meddling.

Uhm... okay, I'm gonna have to ask you to explain further because I'm not sure what you are trying to say in your first paragraph. Marvel met huge losses pandering to vocal minorities? What?

The last paragraph also has me scratching my head. Why should I create a new championship with grid girls, when I'm not opposed to them being removed? That doesn't even make sense. 

You can criticize whoever you want, but if you actually want to achieve something with said criticism, you should target those calling the shots. If you just want to criticize for the sake of criticizing, then go ahead.

The comics DC and Marvel made with black Spiderman, lesbian black Iron Man, etc where all huge commercial failures... Ghostbusters as well... and there are more examples if you go there look of people requesting "representation" on the comics that were met with low sales because the ones requesting weren't really willing to buy, just to cause ruckus.

You have to scratch it more then. You advised people that want F1 with grid girls to create their own F1, so I said that you could use the same suggestion to create a F1 without grid girls instead of requesting they to be removed as was the case on this.

So you think the root on this issue is the F1 listening the vocal minority and pandering to them and not that those vocal minorities are doing the same thing on about every single place they can think of?

I don't follow F1 for over 5 years and probably won't follow for a lot longer so if they burn down I wouldn't care much.
