Remember when we saw Lewis Hamilton stranded post-race at parc ferme? He was looking for his team and the fans declared to the world that his number one cheerleader, Angela Cullen, is gone and that’s why the runners-up at Albert Park was asking the likes of Kelly Slater, “Where’s my team?” It felt like all love is lost between him and his Kiwi assistant. However, as it turns out, that was only conjecture as Hamilton shares his future plans with Angela.
Hamilton had taken to social media to announce that he has become a better person and driver because of his now departed assistant Angela Cullen. The woman who was the 7x champion’s backbone is not behind as every race weekend she sends her wishes to the team she called home for more than half a dozen years. Additionally, Hamilton has now revealed an insight.
As reported by Autoweek, Hamilton stated, “Ange and I was talking just the other day, we stay in contact quite consistently.”

He later let us in on the adventures he wishes to partake in with Cullen. He said, “We’re always going to be in each other’s lives, always looking forward to the next fun adventure, whether it be skydiving, whether it be climbing Mount Everest together at some stage, probably – who knows. And just continuing to support each other in our journeys.”
It will be a fun adventure to see the duo possibly jump out of planes to climb mountains. But the question still remains, how is the 7x champ managing without her?
Lewis Hamilton gives an insight into who replaced Angel Cullen
Carrying his flask, Mercedes T-shirt, Airpods, and a huge bag, Cullen was often spotted running up and down the paddock, assisting her boss. But we haven’t clearly seen any do that since she left. Who is in charge of the Mercedes racer now? Hamilton has given an elaborate description.

“I have a slightly different setup, [Angela’s old] role is shared between two individuals,” he explained.
He later added, “The setup I have right now is great. One of the guys – Steve-O – has been with me since my first race at McLaren. He also came here when I moved from McLaren to here as my gearbox technician. And then he’s moved on to several different roles and he’s helping me right now. Otherwise, I’m working with someone on my training. She’s here, Kylie. And then I have Santi here as well. I have Penni. I have a great support structure.”
