Hamilton ally in F1 FLEX as former Cullen makes revelation

IndyCar performance manager Angela Cullen has opened up on her time working in Formula 1 with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, dropping a big flex when doing so.

Cullen - a physiotherapist by trade - first began to work alongside the Mercedes superstar behind the scenes in 2016, with the pair going on to form a close bond.

As Hamilton scooped up several world titles over the coming years, Cullen could often be spotted by his side, which is why it came as such a shock when the pair announced they would be parting ways in 2023.

Cullen took a mini 'retirement' following their split, but was lured back into motorsport earlier this year.

The 50-year-old now works with Chip Ganassi Racing driver and fellow New Zealander Marcus Armstrong in IndyCar, with the pair having connected earlier in 2024.

Armstrong has already hailed the positive impact Cullen has had on his life, with the IndyCar driver achieving some of his best finishes in the series since the pair began working together.

Now, Cullen has been discussing her entire career to date with IndyCar's YouTube channel, including her time in F1.

When asked by an interviewer about the wide range of motorsport paddocks she had been in, Cullen was quick to step in with a boast in a humorous manner, also making a light-hearted admission when doing so.

"So, you’ve been in many paddocks in your career?" Cullen was asked.

"I really haven’t,” the Kiwi replied.

“I came into motorsport and I went straight into Formula 1 - so I’m a little bit bougie."

Interestingly, rather than working her way through the motorsport ranks, Cullen revealed that prior to F1, one of the things that she had done for work was working with Team GB at multiple Olympic Games.

In the same interview, Cullen also discussed a range of topics, including the steep learning curve she faced when entering F1, and offered an interesting insight into her new role stateside.
