Lewis Hamilton reflects on the importance of Angela Cullen in his life
The Mercedes driver has been pretty vocal about the impact Cullen has had on his professional career. He mentioned the various ways in which Angela keeps him calm and focused during the race weekends.
“People for sure won’t understand it, naturally, because they see it from a distance, but she has been one of the greatest things that’s happened to me in my life,” said Hamilton.
“I’ve been fortunate to work with a lot of people… and she’s the single hardest-working woman that I get to be around. She’s focused, selfless, and she makes my weekends peaceful,” Hamilton added.
Every day I wake up, whatever time it is, she’s just positive–never a single day has she been negative, so that’s very, very important,” said Lewis.
