Lewis Hamilton talks about exciting reunion with Angela Cullen

As we reported last January: Angela Cullen is back alongside Lewis Hamilton! The former physiotherapist and confidante of the seven-time world champion was spotted in the Ferrari garage during pre-season testing in Bahrain. And let me tell you, this comeback was highly anticipated, both by the fans and the driver himself.

Hamilton, who is about to experience a historic moment by donning the Scuderia’s red suit, wanted this new chapter to take place with familiar faces. He did not hesitate to reach out to Angela Cullen, with whom he had shared years of success and memorable moments at Mercedes. « It’s always important to have a good base of people around you. So I kept the entire team I had last year, but I brought Ange in as well. », shared Hamilton with Sky F1.

An inseparable duo, even after separation

As a reminder, Angela Cullen entered Lewis Hamilton’s life in 2016, and she was much more than just a physiotherapist. Present at every race, she was an unwavering support for the Briton, a presence that aided him both physically and mentally. Their separation in 2023 surprised everyone, but it happened under the best conditions.

« We have an excellent relationship, Ange and I. We have known each other for many years, we’ve been through a lot together, and she took a few years off to spend time with her family and explore the world », explained Hamilton. Clearly, the call of the paddock was stronger, and Cullen did not hesitate to say yes when Hamilton offered to embark on another adventure with him.

As Hamilton prepares to make his debut with Ferrari, the presence of Angela Cullen could be a major asset. Beyond the red car he will be driving, he can rely on a trusted ally to face this new adventure.

The Briton, who has exhausted all his testing sessions before Melbourne, knows he has a mountain to climb to aspire to secure that coveted eighth title. But he seems more motivated than ever: Asking her to come and start this new chapter with me, and her accepting it, was really exciting. And we had a lot of fun. This past month together has been really great, he added.

Objective: the eighth title

Hamilton knows it: every point will count in his quest for an eighth title, which would definitively make him legendary. But if there’s one thing he’s learned in recent years, it’s not to make hasty conclusions. “I think over the last four years, I’ve learned not to judge too much from the first impressions,” he said. “I would say it’s the most positive feeling I’ve had in a long time. That’s all I can say for now.”
