When Cullen left, Hamilton explained her reasoning for her departure before the 2023 Australian Grand Prix. He told Sky F1: “It’s an incredibly challenging role, I think for for anyone in those positions. It is a lot of travelling and a lot of time away from your family and you grow incredibly close together.
“If you’re at dinner, during your weekends and while you’re travelling, it’s usually you, your trainer or physio, your family or whatever it may be, it’s incredibly intimate in that sense. And you become great friends. Angela is living her life right now.
“She’s got so many great ideas of things she wants to do. We talk and message pretty much every day. We’re still going to go skydiving together and we’re always going to be in each other’s lives. We’re stuck with each other, unfortunately or fortunately!
“We’ve been through thick and thin so I’m grateful our relationship is as good as it is and I think we’ve probably had one of the longest relationships in the sport, so incredibly grateful for her and I love her dearly.”

Cullen also admitted she thought she had moved on from motorsport when she departed Hamilton’s team. Yet, her love for the sport steered her towards IndyCar, before her return to Hamilton’s side at .
She told the : “When I left Formula One, I thought I was moving away from motorsports. I retired, actually. I took a year off last year and then I connected with Marcus Armstrong. I just worked with him on mental skills and things in the background. In the off season I was sponsored by SOS Hydration, which he was sponsored by too.
“[Armstrong] said ‘Do you want to come to a race?’ I said ‘I’d love to come out’. IndyCar just hit me. It is so fun. I just fell in love with it. The racing is incredible, the drivers are incredible. I arrived and I haven’t left.
“I came into motorsport and I went straight to Formula One. I worked for with Benz for seven years. It was a huge learning curve for me, not only was I learning about the sport but the demands of motorsport on the drivers.”
