摘要

Christine Lear's secret is out. As a practical girl, she chose a practical career path, one that suited well her university training in mathematics: she went into computers. Yet something didn't feel right. From an early age Lear has been fascinated by cars. And not just any old cars. Lear's once-secret obsession is with Formula 1, the pin-nacle of high-octane motor racing. "Working in Formula 1 has always been my dream," she now admits. But even when she got a chance to fulfil that dream — a research position in a university aerodynamics group with close ties to the racing-car industry — she kept her secret to herself. Convinced that it was just wishful thinking, she did not dare confess her hopes, and pursued a PhD investigating ways to reduce the hazardous airflow patterns that form in an aircraft's wake. Or, as she puts it, "how to land more planes at Heathrow".
