Lisa Lilley Interview transcript
An exclusive interview with the Shell F1 Technology Manager.
"I'm Lisa Lilley and I'm Shell's Technology Manager for Ferrari, with responsibility for the technical aspect of the Formula One programme."
"Pretty much every product in the Formula One car with Ferrari is a Shell product, except the brake fuel. Every race, we have a mobile laboratory where we take myself and two technical staff who are there at the race with this. And the reason why this is so important is because the Formula One fuel is the most tightly controlled fuel in the world and we have to make sure it's always legal. I'm always there in the garage as the focal point for Shell and Ferrari."
"To be honest, Formula One was never something that interested me! When I joined Shell as a Fuel Development Scientist, I never in a million years dreamed I'd work for Formula One. Now however, it really has become part of my life, having to learn a lot technically. I have to say I love my job, I think I have the best job in Shell!"
