BREAKING: Lewis Hamilton and Angela Cullen Part Ways Early as F…read more
In a heartfelt and unexpected twist in Formula 1, Lewis Hamilton has ended his long-time partnership with Angela Cullen, his trusted physiotherapist and closest confidante. The news comes just months into Hamilton’s dramatic switch from Mercedes to Ferrari, adding further complexity to an already high-pressure phase in the seven-time world champion’s career.
For over seven years, Cullen was a central figure in Hamilton’s inner circle. Her role extended far beyond physical preparation — she was widely seen as his emotional anchor and one of the few constants in the unpredictable world of F1. Always by his side during race weekends, she played a key part in his mental and physical readiness. Her departure marks the conclusion of one of the most enduring and personal professional relationships in recent F1 history.
Hamilton’s move to Ferrari was hailed as a monumental shift in the sport, uniting a legendary driver with its most iconic team. However, the transition hasn’t been smooth. Ferrari’s high-pressure environment defined by passionate fans, intense media attention, and a demanding team culture has presented new hurdles for both Hamilton and his support team.
Sources close to the situation reveal that Cullen struggled to adapt to Ferrari’s dynamic. Unlike the structured and predictable setup at Mercedes, Ferrari’s more volatile and politically charged environment made it difficult for her to maintain the same level of support.
“Angela has always put Lewis’ well-being first,” said a source. “When it became clear that the Ferrari atmosphere wasn’t compatible with her approach, she made the tough decision to step away.”
Hamilton is reportedly facing a period of deep adjustment. Ferrari’s technical systems and internal structure differ greatly from what he knew at Mercedes, and Cullen’s absence could make the process even more challenging. Her support was more than logistical it was emotional, stabilizing him in the most intense moments of competition.
Neither Hamilton nor Cullen has issued a formal statement, but Hamilton recently posted a cryptic message on social media: “Sometimes, change brings growth. Other times, it shows you what you must let go.” Many believe it was a subtle acknowledgment of the split.
Cullen’s constant presence had become synonymous with Hamilton’s race weekends, and her absence raises questions about how he’ll manage the mental and emotional demands of this new chapter with Ferrari.
More than just a staffing change, this development marks the end of an era that defined Hamilton’s dominance. As he strives to return Ferrari to championship glory, the loss of a loyal ally like Cullen may prove to be one of his toughest challenges yet.
What’s certain is that Hamilton’s journey with Ferrari now carries even more weight and the F1 world will be watching closely to see how he rises to meet it.
