“You’re a Fu*king Legend”: Angela Cullen’s Ecstatic Reaction to Lewis Hamilton’s Greatest F1 Feat Yet

Formula 1 is a global sport that witnesses the top 20 drivers of the world going wheel to wheel against one another. They might come from different countries, and speak different languages, but the goal of winning the F1 title unites them all.

Unfortunately, most of these professionals end their racing careers without achieving glory. This makes the achievement of the Mercedes spearhead stand out even more. Lewis Hamilton has seven-world titles to his name. To put that into context, that equals the grid’s combined world championships of the remaining 19 drivers.

An important individual who is also behind Hamilton’s success is his physiotherapist, Angella Cullen. She is a New Zealand local who is his closest ally, confidant, and friend. In the paddock, she is always spotted next to Lewis and holds onto anything and everything that he may need during a race weekend.

On the track, we have seen car number 44 take big points home for the Mercedes. However, it is a monumental team effort that only gets you to the top step of the podium. Since 2016, Cullen is one of the biggest advocates for the F1 superstar. Following Hamilton’s 7th world title, she had a special message for him.

Cullen said “Can’t believe we did it, you’re a fricking legend, you’re an absolute pleasure to work with. The last five years have been amazing. You never seize to impress me every time you get in that fricking car, like you’re just a legend. I love you so much”

The two of them enjoy spending time together, be it on a run outdoors or sky-diving from 3000 ft in the air. The matching tattoo on their wrists, ‘Loyalty’, is a prime example of how much they lean on each other.

Lewis Hamilton’s Inner circle

Just like his performance coach, Hamilton has many people who help him become the best version of himself. Former manager of the multi-time champion, Anthony Hamilton, is one of his biggest supporters in the crew. His father is the one who introduced him to racing in his formative years and worked many jobs to support his son.

The Mercedes boss, Toto Wolff is another pillar of strength for him. The Austrian has been around since day one of Hamilton’s career with the German racing stable. Last year, he even convinced the Brit to sign a new multi-year deal with the team.

The voice in his year during a Grand Prix, Peter Bonnington, is a crucial person behind his success. The British race engineer, nicknamed ‘Bono’ has served alongside Lewis since 2013 and the two of them are always in sync during high-pressure situations.
