There are few F1 drivers who can boast of a prime like Lewis Hamilton. The Briton has been in a league of his own in the last half a decade with his racing. Although, there are several people who have enabled Lewis to be dominant and consistent in this period. One of them is his confidante and physiotherapist Angela Cullen. Hamilton and Cullen are inseparable at Mercedes as the Kiwi trainer has been a backbone for the 7-time champion since 2016.
Hamilton always hails Angela’s contribution to his success on the track. Similarly, the Females in Motorsport platform too gave Cullen a shoutout for her important role in Lewis’s F1 career. On this, Angela posted their status on her Instagram story, thanking the platform for acknowledging her contribution to F1 and Hamilton’s success.
Cullen was born in Auckland, New Zealand, and has been working as a performance coach with several sportspersons. Before joining Hamilton at the Silver Arrows in 2016, Angela worked with cyclists and runners for the British Olympic team as well.

She also has experience with several performance training institutes. Earlier, Cullen also played field hockey for New Zealand at the international level. Besides hockey, Angela also does a lot of cycling and running even today whenever she gets time.
The Kiwi lives in the Rhone-Alps region of France with her family and kids. Although, most of the time Angela has to spend with Lewis and Co. on the road for the entire F1 season. Many fans have given her much-deserved recognition for her immense dedication to Lewis’s career success. She is certainly the woman contributing significantly to Hamilton’s success.
Fans React in Awe of Angela Cullen being the Backbone for Lewis Hamilton in F1
Several fans reacted online to how Angela Cullen has been a huge boon for Lewis Hamilton in his career. Many cite how crucial her role has been since 2016, which is the same period since Lewis’s prime arguably started.
I can't be certain, but I'd say it's impossible to value Angela Cullen's contribution to Lewis Hamilton's wellbeing and, by extension, his success over the past few years. A dream team for sure 👍

I love seeing these two together. She's never far from his side and their bond is unmistakable. The love and mutual respect they have for each other is inspiring.

It is people like Angela whose contributions may not get as much recognition behind the scenes. Often, Lewis Hamilton tries to acknowledge Angela’s major help in him being consistently fit and healthy weekend after weekend.
Angela is a must in Sir Lewis life…🥰❤️

Probably NZ’s highest paid sportswomen. Tiger Woods had a Kiwi as his caddie who was at one stage NZ’s highest paid sportsman.

Angela is code for Angel category A. Yes it it. Arguing, in this matter, is futile.

Even Cullen’s experience of training high-performance athletes like sprinters and cyclists may be invaluable for Hamilton. Recently, she also revealed a new routine to tackle the hectic F1 schedule that Lewis has started doing with her.
Nonetheless, Lewis would always ensure that Cullen gets the deserved limelight, given how good their bonding is.
Damn, was it really only 2016 she joined Lewis? Feels like she’s been a part of him his entire journey. 🥰

They occasionally worked together before but in 2016 she joined him on the road
