Lewis Hamilton with Angela Cullen
Angela Cullen, Lewis Hamilton’s friend, ally, and assistant has been making rounds on Twitter and Reddit after a video of her running behind a scooter driving Lewis Hamilton has gone viral. The video has drawn criticism to the driver for his alleged ignorant behavior.
This video has received mixed reactions from people. While some have criticized the driver for making his assistant run with bags on her, others have called it her job. But, the primary target has been Lewis Hamilton who has been called inconsiderate for not slowing down and running away on his scooter.
It took an absurd angle when a few people dragged racism to it. Few didn’t miss out on the opportunity to criticize Lewis Hamilton’s actions and support for BLM. Others went way beyond the limits and inappropriately called her ‘slave’.
How close are Angela Cullen and Lewis Hamilton?
As this controversy made news, Angela herself stepped forward and cleared out things. She posted a picture on Instagram, saying it’s her job and she won’t let Lewis Hamilton, her “boss,” do her work.
Angela has been with Lewis Hamilton since 2016 now and the driver describes her as one of the greatest things that’s happened to him. She looks after the driver closely on the weekend and assists him with daily routine, personal logistics, travel arrangements, diet, and more.
The duo also has matching tattoos and spends time off together. Recently, they also went skydiving in Dubai.
The importance of Angela to Lewis can be summed up in these lines quoted by silverarrows.net. They read: She’s been in the field of sport for some 25 years, she’s his PA, his driver, his performance coach, his confidante, his friend. It is her role to eliminate all the distractions for Lewis over a race weekend, so for 4 days, she’s with him almost every minute of those 4 days.”
