Seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton is set to reunite with his former trainer, Angela Cullen, as he embarks on his new journey with Ferrari. The duo previously collaborated from 2016 until their amicable separation in 2023, during Hamilton's tenure at Mercedes.
Cullen has joined Hamilton's Project 44 company, which was established to support his transition to Ferrari and manage other business ventures. In her role as team physiotherapist, she will be an integral part of Hamilton's performance team, led by Marc Hynes. Hynes resumed his partnership with Hamilton last year, having previously worked with him between 2016 and 2021. Cullen is expected to attend races alongside Hamilton, providing support throughout the season.

Reflecting on their partnership in 2020, Hamilton praised Cullen's dedication and positive influence, stating, "She has been one of the greatest things that’s happened to me in my life... She’s focused, selfless, and she makes my weekends peaceful." He emphasized the importance of surrounding oneself with positive individuals, highlighting Cullen's role in his success.
Two years ago, Cullen made the decision to leave Formula 1 after seven years of working closely with Hamilton as his trainer and physiotherapist. As an employee of Hintsa Performance, Cullen stepped up to work with Hamilton following the death of Aki Hintsa in 2016, and the pair quickly developed a rapport.
This reunion coincides with Hamilton's recent integration into the Ferrari team. He has been familiarizing himself with the team's operations, participating in simulator sessions, and driving Ferrari's Formula 1 machinery in preparation for the upcoming season alongside teammate Charles Leclerc.
