Ahead of the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton and his physiotherapist Angela Cullen announced the end of their long-standing partnership. However, it does not appear that the two have parted ways in a quarrel: previously Hamilton spoke about his feelings, now it is Cullen who has opened up about her former employer.

Cullen worked with Hamilton for seven years, but the Bahrain GP turned out to be the last Formula 1 race the 48-year-old New Zealander attended in that capacity. However, that does not mean she is no longer involved with the sport, according to a post she made on Instagram.

'That's how you know Hamilton is in the zone'

In the post, she shared a little fact about the Mercedes driver, who at the time was about to start qualifying for the Australian GP. "The perfect quali is where you build each lap, learn from the previous, implement and profit in the following. Just love the focus and attention," Cullen said.

"Watch for Lewis’ hands when he is sitting in the car in the garage, if they are dancing you know he is in the zone. You can have a perfect quali as a driver regardless of end position, that is the goal," she added. The qualifying session in question went almost flawlessly for Hamilton, who started from third place behind teammate George Russell and eventually managed to turn this into a second-place finish.
