Long-time assistant and physiotherapist Cullen left her job as part of the Mercedes F1 driver’s inner-circle at the start of the 202♈3 season🍬.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolไff had hinted the change was Hamilton’s decision - but the driver has again insisted his friendship with Cullen rema♈ins, even as her old responsibilities are divided between two new physios.

"I have a slightly different setup,” Hamilton explained at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 Miami Grand Prix.

“[Cullen’s] role is shared between tw♌o individuals.

"The setup I have, right now, is great. One of the guys, Stevo, has been with me since my first race at McLaren.&nཧbsp;

“He also came here when I moved from McLaren to here as my gearbox technician. And then he's moved on to several different role🎐s and he's helping me right now.”

Stevo𓄧 is Stephen Lord, who was his race team coordinator at McLaren.

"Otherw🐻ise I'm working with someone on my training, Kylie,” Hamilton added. 

“I have Santi here as well, I ha𝔍ve Penni. I have a great support structure."

Penni Thow 🀅is an American sꦉports and media talent manager.

He continued: "The rest of my team is the same. Ange and I were talking just🅷 the other day. We stay in contact consistently.

"We are al𝓡ways going to be in each other's lives, always looking forward to the next fun adventure, whether it be skydiving, whether it be climbing Mount Everest together at some stage. Who knows. 

“A💙nd just continuing to support each other’s journeys.”
