Lewis Hamilton’s split from physiotherapist Angela Cullen will make things even more difficult for former teammate Nico Rosberg, even though the split was amicable.
After a very difficult 2022 season, the new F1 season has also started very difficult for Lewis Hamilton. No progress has been made with the Mercedes W14, the gap with Red Bull is particularly large and that leads to frustrations. A few days ago it was also announced that Lewis Hamilton and Angela Cullen are separating and that she will no longer accompany Hamilton during the race weekends. According to Nico Rosberg, this can have major consequences.
“I think this makes it even worse because even though they reportedly broke up amicably, I think Angela was a real friend to him as well,” Nico Rosberg told ‘Sky Sports F1’ in Jeddah. “It is also your trainer with whom you spend most of your time together during a race weekend. You usually also dine in a small group, with maybe a family member and a trainer, nothing more.”
“And Lewis not having her here, that’s not ideal for him. I think it will be a new challenge for him, a difficulty he will have to deal with and get used to.”
