The tale of Lewis Hamilton in this sport is going from strange to bizarre really quickly. The man who once was termed as being virtually unstoppable, is now on the verge of remaining winless for the remainder of his F1 career. What’s more? Now, he is seemingly getting embroiled in an inter-team controversy that may end up pulling up a few question marks. Today, the 7x champion revealed through his social media account on Instagram that Angela Cullen, a confidante of the 38-year-old and his performance coach was leaving the team.

Many fans on the internet took this news with grace but also with a hint of sadness for Hamilton. After all, she had been with him for 7 years, and was very instrumental in his championship bids. They were inseparable. Naturally, fans thought this to be a big blow for Hamilton. But as things turn out, the whole situation may be a bit trickier than expected at first. You’d be well within your rights to assume that Hamilton would’ve wanted the Kiwi to hold on. But according to reports coming out of Auto Motor und Sport, you may have to think again.

It is now being theorized that it was Hamilton who showed a loyal ally of his the exit doors at Mercedes. The Silver Arrows’ boss Toto Wolff was quoted by AMuS as saying that it was Hamilton’s decision to part ways with Cullen. And this has divided opinions among the fans.
