Ex-F1 driver Martin Brundle believes the main factor behind Angela Cullen’s shock return is to support 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton outside “the comfort zone of Mercedes”.

Hamilton emb🦄arks on his new journey with Ferrari in 2025 after making the shock switch from Mercedes.

The seven-time world champion has already tested for his new team, taking to 🍎the track in Ferrari’s 2023 F1 challenger on Wednesday.

Hamilton’s Ferrari’s senior management, his parents, and Cullen watched Hamilton’s on♕-tr🔯ack debut at Fiorano.

Before a shock de꧃cision to part ways, Cullen w🅺as Hamilton’s physiotherapist at Mercedes between 2016 and 2023.

The Kiwi teased a possible reunion with Hamilton over the winter break during a skiing trip,💫 with her return officially confirmed earlier this week.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Brundle feels that w꧅orking with Cullen again will be necessary for Hamilton to settle in quickly at Ferrari, given that it’s a new team environment in a different country.

“A bit of a challenge though because it’s a different language, perhaps, to understand where all🃏 the green buttons are in a team,” Brundle said.

“He’s left behind Bono, his famous engineer, and the ꧂comfort zone of Mercedes. It won’t be that easy. That’s why he’s parachuted Angela Cullen and his manager Mark Hynes to get a team around him.

“Some big challenges. There are some big challenges, his teammate Charles Leclerc has been there 🌱seven years effectively and knows exactly where the buttons are, and who does what, and makes things happen.

“Lewis will have to face that. Leclerc is incredibly fast. But I have no doubt that if Ferrari have a race-winning car or a championship-winning car then Lewis🐻 can win races and even the championship.”

Lewis Hamilton wants to prove the doubters wrong

Hamilton joins Ferrari on the back 💟of his worst year in F1.

While he did take two wins during his final year at Mercedes, Hamilton was out-performed by teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell comprehensively.

Hamilton’s struggles ♏in qualifying during 2024 made him quesওtion whether he still has the speed.

Brundle feels that Hamilton w𒀰ill be “full of energy” to prove to people t🎐hat he’s not “over the hill”.

“Al꧑ready, two of the biggest names in the 75-year-old history of F1. Two of the biggest names in the 75-year history of Formuꦗla 1, some might say the biggest names in Ferrari and Hamilton getting together,” Brundle explained.

“Lewis Hamilton dressed all🌳 in the scarlet of the prancing horse, an absolutely extraordinary story. 🦩The story, a gift that will keep giving for us at Sky F1.

“I think he will. He had all that time at McLaren and Mer🅘cedes, t💧his is only Hamilton’s third team in Formula 1, and he will want to go there and show that, despite just turning 40, he’s not over the hill like some people were saying last year, and he will want to show he has made the right decision again. I think he will go there full of energy.”
