Sorry guys but the title professor is reserved in F1 circles for that fantastic French multi world champ Alain Prost.
I think a much better sobriquet for Alia would be 'Brains' as in the Thunderbirds series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson in the 1960s.
I think it fits better, 'Brains' never flew or undertook missions but was the all knowing background figure that they all looked to for advice, information and solutions -much the same as how we all see Alia.
I can see Alianora knows her stuff about F1 and I like your idea John
I would try to incorporate pink cars into your idea though John so my nickname for Alianora would be,
Lady Penelope.
A clever character from Thunderbirds, who gets driven around in an expensive pink car and she can even choose Sergio or Lance to be her chauffeur.
