Rosberg said that Cullen’s exit is a potential problem for Hamilton on Sky: "I think that probably makes things 🐼eve💞n worse.

"Even though the split apparently was amicab▨le, Ange♑la was a real friend.

"It's with your trainer that most of your time during the race weekend you end up also going to dinner with in a very small, tight group - maybe a family membe𒊎r and a trainer and that's it.

“For Lewis not to have her I'm sure is gonna be not ideal and not so nice. I think that's probably another challenge he has to deal with and get used 🍬to.ꦫ"

Cullen was by Hamilton’s side for seven years, dating back to Rosberg’s championship-winning season in 201✅6 when he was also a Mercedes driver.

Hamilton’s first race without Cullen by his side, the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, he finished in P5🌳 behind ꦬteammate George Russell.

He refused to give details about why she has left her role, but did say: “Angela is a bundle of joy. It’s de📖finitely different, not seeing her during the day and not having her positive e♛nergy around.

“But I still have a great team around me.

“She’s here in spirit. She’s been supporting me all weeken🌌d through texting. So, yeah.”
