Oh, I have got so many memories! The whole memory of Formula 1 is my favourite memory“.

Similarly to Angela Cullen, Lewis Hamilton has always been all praises for her former physiotherapist. In an interview in 2020 (as quoted by f1.com), the 38-year-old said,

People for sure won’t understand it, naturally, because they see it from a distance, but she has been one of the greatest things that’s happened to me in my life“.

During the same interview, the Briton also said that he worked with several people throughout his life and that he never found any person that is as hardworking as Cullen. Hamilton then also added about how the New Zealand physiotherapist helped him by never bringing negative energy.

Cullen formed one of the most iconic partnerships with Hamilton as the Mercedes driver won four of his seven world championships with her on his side.
