Rosberg said that Cullen’s exit is a potenti💖al problem for Hamilton on Sky: "I think that probably makes things even worse.

"Even though the split apparently w🐭as amicable, Ange𝕴la 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 w🦩ith in a very small, tight ꦺgroup - maybe a family member 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 ge🍒t used to."

Cullen was by Hamilton’s side f꧋or seven years, dating back to Rosberg’s championship-winning season in 2016 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 team⛄mate George Russell.

He refused to give details ab♒out why she has left her role, but did say: “Angela is a bundle of joy. It’s definitely different, not seeing her 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 supportiဣng me all weekend through texting. So, yeah.”
