Lewis Hamilton Reveals the Backstory to Him Partnering Up With Physio Angela Cullen

Lewis Hamilton is undoubtedly one of the greatest drivers of all time. However, the Knight is not alone in his journey in Formula On; he is accompanied by his physio, Angela Cullen.

The two are inseparable on a Grand Prix weekend, and often spend time with each other when they are away from the world of racing. The Mercedes looked back at his journey with Cullen and remembers how they first teamed up.

Lewis Hamilton remembers the time he decided to partner up with Cullen

The 7-times world champion always has Cullen by his side, be it for motivation or needing help to recover from a race. The two joined forces back in 2016, and since then have formed a strong bond. Hamilton reveals how he convinced Angella to join him in his journey on the grid.

Speaking to The Sun, Hamilton said, “When I got to F1 I didn’t have a trainer and when I got there I was given a trainer at the time, they’re all called physios.

“And, a couple of the trainers I had were not physios, but they were called physios for the race weekend.And it was usually a guy that I was working with, would be on the road with me and train with me.”

He added, “And then I started to notice I was having issues every now and then again with small injuries popping up, or you realise you’ve got a neck problem or whatever it might be.”

“And I never had anyone to be able to fix that, and it’s not until after I look back and I’d see Angela. So I said why don’t you come on the road with me, because I’m not training on race weekends, I need physio that knows my body and knows what it needs to be as prepared as possible for a race weekend, and then when I’m away I can train with her,”  Hamilton concluded.
