Cullen opens up on motorsport return after Hamilton split

Lewis Hamilton’s former trainer Angela Cullen has talked about her long-awaited return to motorsport, a year on from leaving Mercedes.

Physiotherapist Cullen was paired up with the Brit when he won five titles between 2015-2020, but departed the grid in a surprise move last year.

The New Zealander departed Mercedes at the 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and has since been filling her time with some travelling and high-adrenaline activities as she was seeking ‘fresh opportunities’ in recent months.

Now, it appears that Cullen has found her next role in motorsport, working alongside fellow Kiwi Marcus Armstrong.

Armstrong – who was part of the Ferrari Driver Academy from 2017 to 2021 – previously competed in F2 and F3, finishing third in the latter in 2019.

Recently, the 23-year-old has become a stand-in driver in the IndyCar series and now looks set for a full season in the category with Chip Ganassi Racing.

And posting on her Instagram account, Cullen shared her excitement about her return to motorsport and her support for her former team for afar as Armstrong prepares to take part in the $1 Million Challenge event at the Thermal track in California.
