Monaco Grand Prix organisers set to defy Formula One owners Liberty by bringing grid girls back for the race

Monaco Grand Prix organisers are set to defy Formula One's American owners by employing grid girls before Sunday's race.

Liberty Media removed F1's long-standing tradition of using female models at the beginning of the year after denouncing the practice as 'at odds with modern-day societal norms'.

Liberty has since rolled out its grid kids scheme, with 20 children already involved in the junior ranks of motorsport lining up in front of the drivers prior to the start of the race.

The grid kids will still be used in Monte Carlo on Sunday, but the glamorous race is also primed to see the return of grid models.
