Angela Cullen details tell-tale Lewis Hamilton sign

Hamilton opens up on plans to remain in F1 ahead of 2023 season

Lewis Hamilton’s former trainer Angela Cullen has revealed how fans can tell the seven-time champion is in the “zone” on race weekends. Cullen stressed Lewis’ hands are a key indicator of his mentality, especially during qualifying sessions.

The 48-year-old physio explained it was a good sign if his hands started “dancing” behind the cockpit. The New-Zealander made the revelation on social media ahead of qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix on Saturday.

She said: “My [favourite] time of an entire race weekend… looking for that perfect single lap. Car set-up meets precision driving. The perfect quali is where [you] build each lap, learn from the previous, implement and profit in the following. Just love the focus and attention.

“Watch for Lewis hands when he is sitting in the car in the garage, if they are dancing you know he is in the zone. Let’s go. You can have a perfect quali as a driver regardless of end position, that is the goal.”

And you become great friends. Angela is living her life right now. She’s got so many great ideas of things she wants to do.

“We talk and message pretty much every day. We’re still going to go skydiving together and we’re always going to be in each other’s lives. We’re stuck with each other, unfortunately or fortunately.”
