Lewis Hamilton was on top of his game for a very long time, ever since Mercedes’ era of dominance started in 2014. Out of all those years, one person has been on his side since 2016. While her job description reads physical trainer, what she actually does for him is way beyond what is required of her. But commitments elsewhere and bigger ambitions have led her to finally say goodbye to her current employer. Some toxic fans, however, did not take well to her decision.

In an old interview, Hamilton recalled how his journey with Angela Cullen began. He told how he was assigned a physical trainer when he arrived in F1 and went through a couple of them. However, they couldn’t help him with the injuries that developed over time. It was Angela he saw for those injuries and then asked her to be with him for the race weekends. The two never looked back ever since.
