But there are some noticeable changes in the runway at the start in Melbourne. One of the biggest changes in this season is the placement of the Halo system on all F1 cars, or the removal of girls on the runway, known as “Grid Girls”. This decision was taken by new owners of Liberty Media, who argued that the girls did not represent the true values ​​of their brands. “Grid Girls” have already been replaced by small children. These weeks are just some of Liberty Media’s first changes since others include those of television time. These things seem to have annoyed a bit the German, Sebastian Vettel, who prefers more traditional rules than new ones.

“I think I’m a more traditional person for certain things. There are many things I’m not the right specialist, and I do not need to understand. I’m a bit confused about why the races have to start later and that there are no more girls on the runway. From the perspective of a pilot, of course, many things have not changed. ”

Ferrari’s driver aims to beat his rival Lewis Hamilton to win the fifth World Champion title that would allow him to equal Argentine legend Juan Manuel Fangio. However, the British pilot only needs one title to reach the 5th figure. Vettel hopes to continue with these rallies even in the upcoming race in Bahrain, which is in the program this weekend. / Flashsport24 /
