Red alert: The F1 grid girls are here

It’s not just the hot wheels that oomph up an F1 race track. The grid girls for the 2012 Formula 1 Airtel Indian Grand Prix have been revealed, and they’re being dressed up by designer duo Shantanu and Nikhil.
“The dress is inspired by the race itself. The silhouette is a sleek fit, much like the cars, thereby making the look chic and glamorous. A zipper band collar is reminiscent of the drivers’ suits.And the flamboyant red colour does the trick for us as it is both racy and suits the personality of the sport. Finally, the race references are also in the white lines that cut across the dress, giving it the power and aggression that the sport is associated with,” Shantanu and Nikhil told us.
