Lewis Hamilton is all set to acquaint with the new crew at Ferrari in the 2025 season. The Briton was denied the opportunity to take his long-time race engineer Bono from Mercedes to Maranello. However, the 40-year-old has added one known face to the crew, after bringing back his ex-trainer Angela Cullen with Mission44.

Angella Cullen and Lewis Hamilton parted ways during the early stages of the 2023 season. Cullen had continued her work in motorsports after joining Marcus Armstrong at IndyCar. However, after just two years of not working together, Hamilton has decided to bring his ex-trainer back to Ferrari from the 2025 season.

The 50-year-old is set to join the Briton in the performance team supervised by Marc Hynes. However, the New Zealander will serve as the team’s physiotherapist and help the 40-year-old relax his body after running excruciating races.

There are some days that you know you’ll remember forever and today, my first as a Ferrari driver, is one of those days, I’ve been lucky enough to have achieved things in my career I never thought possible, but part of me has always held on to that dream of racing in red. I couldn’t be happier to realise that dream today.

Ferrari’s recent upturn in performance paired with the ‘elastic’ testing schedule for Hamilton will prepare him for the worst. The 40-year-old has showcased resistance to performance issues and continued to score well in the past. Hence, the 2025 season would be a highly interesting and exciting ordeal for the seven-time world champion.
