Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton is set to have a public reunion with former ally Angela Cullen in Bahrain this week.
Following his stunning switch to Ferrari over the winter, Hamilton and his new team head to Bahrain for pre-season testing on Wednesday, with excitement building ahead of the 40-year-old's first live laps in a red car.
After testing, the upcoming season will kick off with the Australian Grand Prix on March 16, where both Hamilton and his team-mate Charles Leclerc will be aiming to hit the ground running and get their championship challenge off to a positive start.
Last year, Hamilton endured yet another season of struggling with his Mercedes machinery and could only manage a P7 finish in the drivers' standings, the lowest result of his career to date.
With the racing legend having now joined a new team and been handed a change of scenery ahead of the new season, there is fresh hope for Hamilton fans who yearn to see the former Mercedes star back at the top of the pack.

Cullen was formerly Hamilton's trainer during his successful tenure at Mercedes and significantly contributed to the champion's mindset and domination of the sport that saw him achieve four of his seven driver's titles during their partnership.
The iconic duo then parted ways in March 2023, with Cullen switching to work alongside compatriot Marcus Armstrong in IndyCar.
Following Hamilton's major move to Ferrari, speculation quickly picked up momentum over a potential reunion for the pair, with confirmation of Cullen's return announced in January ahead of Hamilton's on-track debut with the Scuderia.
The famous physiotherapist was then spotted wearing Ferrari gear in the team's garage during Hamilton's running at their private testing track in Fiorano, officially confirming the reunion ahead of the 2025 season.
With the season-opener now less than three weeks away, Cullen has been pictured on F1 photographer Kym Illman's Instagram in Bahrain ahead of pre-season testing, where she will be assisting Hamilton as she reportedly resumes her full-time position at the seven-time champion's side.
