It has been nearly two years since Lewis Hamilton announced a shock split from long-time Kiwi trainer Angela Cullen.

The physiotherapist worked with the seven-time champion between 2016 and 2023 while he raced for Mercedes.

They achieved four drivers’ championships together and struck up one of the best working relationships in the sport.

Her work helped her gain a significant social media following, with 495,000 followers on Instagram as fans clamour for snaps of her new life.

Where did Angela Cullen go after her split from Lewis Hamilton?

After leaving the Formula 1 paddock, Cullen decided to take some time away from work to go and travel the world, according to Speedcafe.

Egypt, Bali, and California were all destinations that she explored before eventually deciding on her next career move.

Almost exactly one year on from her split with Hamilton, the New Zealand native announced that she would be joining forces with a fellow countryman.

The exciting young driver Marcus Armstrong inherited her services and experience, which is a massively valuable commodity in the early stages of his career.

He now drives for Chip Ganassi Racing in IndyCar, but recently confirmed a team change which will bring about some new scenery for himself and Cullen in 2025.

Armstrong’s former team are downsizing from a five to three-car operation next season, leaving him to find a new opportunity.

He will join Meyer Shank Racing to partner veteran driver Felix Rosenqvist in what will be his third season in the IndyCar series.

Cullen looks set to remain alongside him for the journey, as the Kiwi chases his first IndyCar victory and championship.

The previous season ended just a few weeks ago, meaning that fans will have to wait until next March for any snaps of Cullen in a racing setting again.

She certainly seems to have settled well since finding herself out of the Formula 1 paddock last year, and is enjoying life in the United States.
