Hamilton glad "beautiful" grid girls are back for Monaco GP

Lewis Hamilton says he is pleased to see grid girls return at the Monaco Grand Prix. The reigning world champion had reacted previously to the news on Instagram, putting up a photo captioned "Thank You Jesus" however he later moved to downplay his post.

Hamilton said he was pleased to see the grid girls back on the starting grid for this prestigious race around the streets of Monte Carlo in the Wednesday press conference.

“I think women are the most beautiful thing in the world,” Hamilton said. “When we pull up on the grid and there are beautiful women on the grid, that’s the Monaco Grand Prix, that’s a lovely thing.
