The only female goalie to ever play in the NHL (albeit very briefly) went to play for the Canadian National Team, promptly got pregnant, wanted two years off and then was surprised that her career was over - two years is a long time to be out of the public eye. And although she said that she could get "mom" sponsors for the team, it was decided that this was not the image they wanted for the Canadian National Team. So she got a surprise she wasn't planning on. At least she was a lady about it and didn't immediately sue.
The law in Canada requires that a pregnant worker be given a year off with pay and her job kept for her if she wants to return to it. Can you see Ferrari holding a race seat for a year "in case" their pregnant pilot "wants" to come back and drive for them?
No women in F1. They don't have the right attitude.
P.S. Bernie has said there will NOT be any women in F1. And what Bernie wants ...
