Angela Cullen: Lewis Hamilton's inner-circle includes trainer who never leaves his side

Since they started working together𝔉 at start of the 2016 F1 season, Hamilton and Cullen ha🎉ve been inseparable.
The 47-year-old New Zealander is the seven-time wor🎃ld champion’s physio and performance coach and is always seen by Hamilton’s side during grand prix weekends.
Cullen, who is a mum of two, and Hamil𝔍ton even share matching ‘Loyalty’ tattoos on their wristꦫs.
Alo💖ngside senior race engineer Pe⭕ter ‘Bono’ Bonnington, Cullen is considered as one of the most important people in Hamilton’s inner circle.

Hamilton ha🧸s hailed Cullen as “one of the greatest things that’s happened” to him.
"People for sure won't understand it because they see it from a dista﷽nce," said Hamilton.
"But she has been one of the greatest things th🌃at's happened to me in my life.
"I've been fortunate to work with a lot of people... and she's the single hardest-working woman that I get to be a🥀round. She's focused, sel🦹fless, and she makes my weekends peaceful.
"Every day I wake up, whatever time it is, she's just positive - never a single day has s🎀he been negative, so that's very, very imp𝐆ortant.
“I think it's important in life to put positive people around you. You can't be ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚgoing around with deadweights, you can't be going 😼around with people who don't inspire you to be better and lift you up when you're down.
"Y🌳ou need to be around people who can do that f🦩or you, and she's one of them."

Hamilton reported🀅ly pays his confidante more th🍷an $100,000.
As well as supporting Hamilton at grands prix, the pair also spend time together 𓆏away from F1 r🐽ace track. They have been spotted partying, skydiving, surfing and training together.
"Angela and I are naturally incredib🐭ly close,” H💎amilton said. “We pretty much live together.”
He added: “When you come into Formula 1, there’s this whole idea of 🅰physios, but a lot of them, or some of them, are just trainers.
“They ﷽still take on the title of ‘physio’ – but a physio is a physiotherapist, and for years, I’d always had a male trainer, but I noticed that I was always having different problems. I’d have, like, muscle tightness in my neck, or I’d have problems with my lower back, or glute,🉐 whatever it might be, and my trainer could never fix it.
“So you’d have to just deal with it th📖rough the weekend and I was like, ‘This doesn’t make sense. I don’t need to train on the weekends.’ So I was like, ‘I need to find a physio.’
“Angela had don🧔e a bit of work on me back home, so I spoke to her and asked her, ‘Would you like to come on the road with me?’ and little did I know that we would have the greatest partnership.”
