While she may be viewing from the comfort of her couch tonight, a few decades ago, Reid was closer to the F1 action than most racing aficionados could ever hope to be.  Growing up, her only goal was to one day become a Formula 1 engineer — a dream born in childhood while watching the races every Sunday night with her father.  “It was this really special time together,” Reid recalls.
