Cullen, a bubbly character, accompanied Hamilton through four of his six world championship successes at Mercedes, and was his chief confidante and assistant. She was regularly seen bunching his hair or carrying his umbrella on the grid. The pair were also inseparable during Covid lockdown when members of the travelling F1 community were forbidden from seeing anyone outside their ‘bubbles’ of two or three people.

Never a single day has she been negative. That’s very important.’.
