Yeah sometimes it seems kind of goofy with how few D1 womens teams there are. Otoh, I'm kind of familiar with girls youth/high school hockey in Michigan and there really aren't that many girls teams compared to the boys. Some girls are traveling pretty far to get to practices and games.

So is the issue with the talent pool or do schools like Michigan just not give a shit?

Oh and fun fact, girls high school hockey players have the highest chances of playing in college at a whopping 26%. https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2015/3/2/estimated-probability-of-competing-in-college-athletics.aspx

Red Bull have been mixing a bit of brilliant design with a bit of cheating. Perez qualified almost a full second faster than Hamilton and even after a wind-tunnel penalty for RB for cheating, they are some 5~7 KPH faster than anyone on the straights and they gain 27kph when they open the DRS which is more than anyone else manages to get.

It’s frustrating and perplexing to see they had the least wind tunnel time due to being champions, plus a wind tunnel penalty; and yet they still have untouchable aero.
