Angela Cullen has reached a significant milestone in her partnership with racing driver Marcus Armstrong.

The trainer worked alongside seven-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton, in Formula 1 from 2016-2023.

However, the two parted ways last year with Cullen tackling new ventures on and off the racetrack.

Hamilton has revealed the two remain good friends, and has praised Cullen for the energy she brings to her work claiming she ‘belongs in the sport’.

The two have a close relationship, consistently seen together on Cullen’s social media, with Armstrong revealing the pair live together.

She joined his team for the $1 Million Challenge event at the Thermal track in California, providing an almost instant impact on arrival.

Recently, the pair took the next step in their partnership with Armstrong achieving a career best third at the Detroit Grand Prix.

Cullen commemorated the result with an Instagram story that read ‘never give up’, celebrating Armstrong’s first ever podium.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Armstrong claimed that Cullen has brought wisdom with her from Hamilton’s championship-winning years, which has clearly had an impact on his IndyCar results.

“We’re still finding our feet. We’re still getting that foundation set. But ultimately we want to build a routine and a work ethic that is sustainable to where we can challenge for race wins and championships for years on end,” Armstrong said.

“To also have the reassurance from her that she’s obviously seen championships won before, that this is the right way to go about it — we’re on a journey.”
