Why is Angela Cullen leaving Lewis Hamilton?

The average working life in F1 is intensely hectic and comes with minimal breaks. Moreover, working with Hamilton is even more difficult, as the Briton race driver always goes the extra mile to remain the best.

In season three of Drive To Survive, once Cullen asked, “why are they always the last to leave?” In response, the Briton replied: “That’s why we are number one.”

The conversation at that time didn’t indicate any sign of Cullen leaving, as it took her three years after that to resign her services. But it undoubtedly projected that even people around Hamilton has to push beyond the limit to get better results on the track.

And after doing it for so many years, it could be a reason for her to take a break. Moreover, Hamilton, in his post, wished Cullen all the best for her dreams, so she is probably planning to start her entrepreneurial journey or go for a gig she always wanted to do.

At this stage, it can only be assumed where she is heading. But her presence in Formula 1 would be missed as she was one of the widely covered non-racing faces in the sport.

She was the answer to everything

While Hamilton ground himself on the track, it was Cullen’s responsibility to take care of everything the Mercedes star needed. Cullen used to take care of everything, from picking up his bags to giving him massages to relax him from all the stiffness.

Moreover, she also joined him for his exercise and gym sessions and ensured he was making the proper progress over the season. Hamilton has repeatedly credited her for his success in F1 and claims her to be a crucial part of his team.

But now, the two have to go different ways as Cullen is interested in entering a new chapter of her life, presumably ending the life that is always on the move.
