PIT GIRLS ARE BACK!

Models return to F1 ... but bring the boys too

- Mail Foreign Service

MODELS returned to the pit lane for the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend – four months after Formula 1 scrapped the practice for being outdated.

And for the first time the glamorous women were joined by male models.

They did not perform traditiona­l tasks such as posing in front of each car or holding up the driver’s race number.

Instead they took photograph­s of the drivers for posting on social media, with each driver assigned a pair of models.

The women wore floorlengt­h backless gowns, with h the men in white shirts s tucked into white trousers.

They were representi­ng Tag Heuer and wore the e watchmaker’s logo on their r clothes – and, in the case of f the women, on their r shoulder in the form of a temporary tattoo.

Also catching the eye was Princess Charlene, 40, wife of Monaco’s Prince Albert, , who jokingly swigged from m a large bottle of champagne as she joined the winners on the podium.
