Singapore Airlines to still use grid girls at Grand Prix

The Singapore Grand Prix will feature grid girls, even though the FIA have made clear they don't want them in the Formula One anymore, making them the third Grand Prix host after Russia and Monaco to ignore the FIA.

Singapore Airlines will not sway from their grid girls, which are a host of women dressed as Singapore Airlines cabin crew to promote the airline.

“Our cabin crew are brand ambassadors for Singapore Airlines and will continue to play an integral role in the upcoming Formula 1 2018 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix,” Singapore Airlines told Yahoo Lifestyle Singapore.

Sean Bratches, commercial director of the F1, made it clear in January that grid girls are a thing of the past, as it doesn't resonate with the owners' values anymore. It was expected that all races wouldn't feature the girls anymore, but the prince of Monaco quickly came out to say the Monaco Grand Prix would still have women on show instead of kids. Russia quickly supported Monaco in their decision, and Singapore will now be the third venue.

Will the F1 say anything about this? Will there be more strict rules in the future, or can venues keep ignoring them in future?
