About Us

Hi, I’m the fan behind Pit Stop Mugs.

I’ve been that person setting 3 AM alarms for quali. I’ve sat through red flags longer than Kimi’s patience, brewed more coffee than a race engineer in Bahrain testing, and whispered “box, box” to myself while topping up my mug mid-race.

Like a lot of us, I wanted something subtle but meaningful to show my love for the sport. Not loud merch, something you could keep on your desk that says, “Yeah, I watch every lap… and no, I don’t skip FP2.”

So I started designing the mug I wished existed, an idea that's been brewing since 2018 – clean, intentional, and inspired by the most iconic helmets on the grid.

My philosophy is simple: Passion, not a prompt.

Every design here is made by me. No big team, no AI prompt farms. Just hours spent obsessing over the details, distilling the essence of each helmet into a clean, modern form that respects its legacy. It's the difference between a replica and a reinterpretation.

I named this Pit Stop Mugs for a reason. Because let’s be honest: in a sport of high-speed chaos, the race is often won in the pits.

Think of Monaco, the high-speed chess of the undercut, where a flawless in lap and a blistering out lap decide everything. This mug is a nod to that same vital ritual. Your own personal pit stop to refuel, recharge, and push to the finish.

This isn’t mass merch. It’s a tribute to the silence before lights out. The calm of a solo lap. The chaos of a last-lap lunge.

To quote Fernando: “I’m still here.” And this store is for the fans who are too.

If you’ve ever shouted “Leave me alone, I know what I’m doing” while making espresso, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the team.
