Rosberg said that Cullen’s exit is a potential problem for Hamilton on𝔉 Sky: "I think that probably makes things even worse.

"Even though the split apparently was amicab🍌le, Angela 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 member and a trainer an🍸d 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."

Cullen was by Hamilton’s side for seven years, dating back to Rosberg’s championship-winnin꧃g season in 2016 when he was also a Mercedes driver.

Hamilton’s first race without Cullen by his side, the F1 Saudi Arabian Gran🐼d Prix, he finished in P5 behind teammate George Russell.

He refused to give details about why she has left her role, but did say: “Angela ꦐis a bundle of joy. It’s definitely different, not seeing herꦉ during the day and not having her positive energy around.

“But I still have a great team around me.

“She’s here in spirit. She’s been supporting♋ me all we🅷ekend through texting. So, yeah.”
