Here we go with the latest Twitter outrage. That’s F1 driver Lewis Hamilton celebrating a win on Sunday at the Chinese Grand Prix. Grid girl is there…she gets blasted. Those are the rules of being a grid girl. You’re there to have fun, spray some champagne and make a few dollars.
But…Lewis just happened to spray a Grid Girl who didn’t seem to enjoy getting blasted in the ear. And 3…2…1…OUTRAGE!

I would like to know if this Grid Girl had any clue what goes on during the podium celebration. Did her boss explain to her that the driver is going to spray her? Happens after every single F1 race. Of course women are going to get mad at Lewis, but it’s complete bullshit. The Grid Girl manager should be fired for hiring a woman who didn’t understand how everyone gets sprayed. Hell, pick up a bottle and spray the rich F1 driver. He doesn’t care.
Here comes more outrage:
Roz Hardie, chief executive of Object, a campaign on media sexism and ‘sex object culture’, said: ‘The photographs appear to show that the woman is not just being splashed, but that the champagne is being very specifically directed into her face, which does not look like a voluntary piece of horseplay on her part.
‘If this if the case we think Lewis Hamilton should apologise for his actions and think carefully about how he behaves in the future. For most people, it would be apparent that she is not enjoying it.
‘It is surely a very difficult position to be a grid girl and she would have had little option but to stand there and take it. That is something of which he should be aware. But instead, he appears to have abused her position.
‘It’s unfortunate that a great victory has been marred by what appears to be selfish and inconsiderate behaviour.’
Outrage of the week…give it 24 hours and it’ll be over.
