Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton has announced in an Instagram post that he will no longer be accompanied by his longtime trainer and physiotherapist Angela Cullen.
New Zealand native Karen has been with Finnish personal training and fitness company Hinsa Performance since 2016, when he began a partnership with Hamilton, who won six of seven drivers’ championships with Mercedes.
Lewis Hamilton announced via Instagram that he would no longer be working with Karen, stating:
“For the last seven years, Angela has been by my side, pushing me to be the best I can be. She made me a stronger athlete and a better person.”
“So today, when she takes the next step in chasing her dreams, please pray for her.
Karen also posted on her Instagram, stating:
“Thanks and congratulations for an amazing journey in Formula 1. Thank you to the MB (Mercedes-Benz) team who have been my family for the last 7 years and @lewishamilton you are the GOAT! It was an honor and a pleasure to stand beside you and I am so proud of you and all you have achieved.”
“Thank you for supporting me, believing in me, and showing us the limitless potential we all have within. I can’t wait to see the next chapter for you. There’s nothing you can’t do.Don’t stop believing…Life’s journey is one big wave.Keep riding.Have big dreams.Dreams do come true.I’ll always be by your side. STILL WE RISE”
Hamilton looks to regain his winning ways as the seven-time champion prepares for the race in Saudi Arabia, where he took his last F1 victory in 2021.
