I Just Made The Tea: A lifetime in the Formula 1 pitlane

Di Spires is an unassuming Warwickshire woman who, with husband Stuart, travelled the world in Formula 1 for 30 years, worked with five World Champions and become 'Mum' to some of the biggest names in the pitlane, as well as hundreds of the sport's unsung heroes. In all that time she ran the team motorhome for a succession of different teams, including Lotus in the Senna era and Benetton in the Schumacher era. Her memoir looks at Formula 1 from an unusual viewpoint. As well as Formula 1 people, she has encountered personalities from every walk of life, from royalty to criminals on the run. Her stories range from the hilarious to the tragic and provide a unique insight. This is a fast-paced read packed with surprising snippets and observations, with plenty of intimate insight into what the drivers are really like.
