In the world of Formula 1, Lewis Hamilton has been earmarked for the word ‘blessed’. The 7x Formula 1 champion has overcome many odds and adversities in his formative years to reach the pinnacle of motor racing. What’s more? He’s used this mantra of his to reign supreme over the sport of F1 for almost an entire decade. But where there’s light, there’s always the risk of darkness. The 38-year-old has made his life a mission to spread positivity, but his actions on social media often have disastrous effects on the people associated with the sport, and the fans have dubbed this the Hamilton Curse.
Recently, there has been a trend that many people on social media have noticed. Hamilton has a habit of posting motivational ‘thirst traps’ on his social media handles. However, every time the Brit does so, someone from the F1 paddock either loses their position or decides to quit. Unfortunately for the Brit, this time around, his curse has come back to bite him instead.

Hamilton recently announced on his Instagram account that his performance coach, and long-time friend, Angela Cullen, will be leaving her position within the team. After seeing this sad news, fans connected the dots and came to the conclusion it was all down to a recent Hamilton thirst trap!

For Hamilton, Cullen was his biggest asset. She kept him in trim, both physically and mentally. Her loss would be a big blow for the 38-year-old’s title ambitions going ahead. But for the fans, all the blame was to fall on Hamilton’s shoulders squarely. One fan even commented, “HE HIT HIMSELF WITH THE LEWIS CURSE.” While another said, “Forgot to turn off friendly fire.”
