The world of Formula 1 is full of drama, from high-speed crashes on the track to intense rivalries between drivers. But sometimes, the biggest shockers come from off the track. The recent split between Lewis Hamilton and his longtime trainer Angela Cullen is one of those bombshells that left fans and insiders alike reeling.

Hamilton and Cullen had been an inseparable duo for seven years. Cullen was not just a trainer to Hamilton; she was also a trusted confidante and travel companion, accompanying the driver on his global adventures and offering emotional support throughout their time together. This explains the fact that, despite the separation from Lewis Hamilton and, by extension, Mercedes, the world-renowned trainer continues to miss them.

In the Instagram post, Cullen calls the qualifying day her favorite day of the weekend. With her mentioning Lewis’s secret, “Watch for Lewis hands when he is sitting in the car in the garage, if they are dancing you know he is in the zone,” seems like the Briton must’ve danced today as he went on to take P3 for the main race after today’s qualifying. Angela’s words on Instagram appeared heavily encouraging, revealing the team’s mindset. So one can only imagine the impact she’d have on Lewis when they would have worked in person.

Hamilton’s work ethic is legendary. He has often credited his success to his team and support staff, including his longtime trainer, Angela Cullen. For this, the LH army continues to thank her in the comments and wishes her the best.

Angela is constantly missing Lewis Hamilton & Co.

The weekend in Australia will be the third one in seven years during which Angela Cullen isn’t traveling alongside Lewis Hamilton. Their separation wouldn’t be easy as they helped each other grow and supported each other at every step. The relationship went beyond professional levels and stood like those between close friends.

Expressing herself missing Mercedes, in a video shared on her Instagram, where she’s undergoing a run in the woods in Europe, Cullen says, “It’s a wet Friday morning in Europe. Been thinking of the Mercedes Benz team Friday evening. It’s the time to grind, time to hustle, time to do the work. Makeup’s off muddy shoes. Let’s go.”
