Famous pit girls: Katie Price, Jodie Marsh, Lucy Pinder and more celebrity brolly dollies
With news that Formula 1 are banning pit girls, SunSport celebrates the gorgeous ladies of yesteryear that made those grids sexier than ever
IT'S a travesty.
With news that Formula One has banned brolly dollies, we felt the desperate need to celebrate the pit girls that made those grids far more exciting.
Kelly Brook, Jodie Marsh, Emma Noble, Melinda Messenger, Nell McAndrew are just some of the girls that showed off their assets in the name of motorsports.
Join us in championing their cause - all in the name of fast cars and stunning girls.
And we'd be foolish to forget the current crop of hotties who we may not see again.
Jodie Marsh
Essex girl Jodie made an appearance at the 2003 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, where she wowed drivers and crowds.
She was also there to launch Playstation 2 game Formula One 2003, which she certainly did with some aplomb judging by these sexy snaps.
Melinda Messenger
Former Page 3 girl Melinda was at her charming best in the pits alongside Ralph Schumacher and Damon Hill during a practice for the British Grand Prix in 1998.
Both Damon and Ralph looked tickled pink stood next to Melinda, and isn't it any wonder?
She looks blooming marvelous.
Keeley Hazell
How we miss Keeley.
When the stunning model was at the top of the glamour tree, she waltzed along the grid at the 2006 British Grand Prix.
Perched on top of the Midland F1 team's car, she showed us why she was such a favourite among us boys.
Lucy Pinder and Michelle Marsh
A favourite with the lads' mag set, both Lucy and Michelle shared their buxom charms at the British Grand Prix in 2005.
They even got themselves snapped alongside former F1 champ Fernando Alonso, who seemed delighted they were there.
Was there ever a better duo than Lucy and Michelle on the circuit? We think not!

Katie Price
When she was Jordan, and not Katie, the most famous glamour girl of them all made sure we were well aware of her pit girl qualities.
Katie made an appearance at the Spanish Grand Prix in 1998 and looked sensational in bright yellow hot pants.
We just can't take our eyes off her, and neither could the watching audience in Barcelona.
Kelly Brook
When she was still in her teens, Kelly poured her curves into Fosters sponsored lingerie that really launched her into the stratosphere as a glamour girl.
Her shining moment came at Silverstone in 1998 during the British Grand Prix, where she was her usual buxom self.
Check out the old-score 90s hairdo too!
Nell McAndrew
The ultimate ladette of the 90s, now reformed marathon runner, Nell had legs that went on for days.
So it was no surprise that she posed with one of Eddie Jordan's Formula One cars in a sexy photoshoot, sprayed across the front of the car's nose.
Needles to say, she looked incredible in a yellow bikini.
