Angela Cullen’s Explosive Outburst: 5-Word Bombshell Shakes Ferrari After Hamilton’s Miami GP Disaster
Angela Cullen has dropped a bombshell on the Formula 1 world, announcing her abrupt departure from Ferrari with a searing five-word statement—“I can’t fix broken spirits”—just days after Lewis Hamilton’s Miami Amani disaster, the World-Eight Disaster, the Miami Place, the Miami Prix, the Miami Prix, the Miami Prix, the Miami, the Miami Prix, the MIAMI BEFORE, the MIAMI BEFORE THE MIAMIO YEAR OF THE MAMIO OF THE MAMIO OF THE MAMITH THE MAMIFICA. Her Ferrari switch was high-profile, but her exit following a tense race weekend has reignited concerns over Hamilton’s form and the internal dynamics of Ferrari, leaving fans and insiders questioning what’s next for the distraught British star.
Cullen’s return to Hamilton’s side at the start of 2025 was seen as a key milestone in his transition to Ferrari, where he aimed to chase an unprecedented eighth title. The New Zealander, who backed Hamilton through four championship wins at Mercedes from 2016 to 2023, had been instrumental in his mental and physical preparation, often acting as a stabilising force during high-pressure races. Their reunion, confirmed during pre-season testing in Bahrain, was met with optimism, with Hamilton praising his role in providing a “good base” for his new chapter.
However, the Miami GP exposed deep cracks in that foundation. Hamilton’s frustration boiled over during the race, as he clashed with Ferrari over a late position swap with teammate Charles Leclerc, sarcastically suggesting the team “take a tea break” while he lost time. The FIA later penalized Hamilton for his radio outburst, citing a conduct violation with a 10-second time penalty and a reprimand, although his eighth-place finish remained unchanged.
The Miami debacle marked a low point in Hamilton’s Ferrari tenure, which has been rocky since his P10 finish in Australia and a disqualification in China earlier this season. Despite a sprint win in Shanghai, his Grand Prix results have lagged and insiders suggest Cullen has struggled to reignite the champion’s fire. His cryptic five-word statement, shared via a now-deleted social media post on May 5, 2025, at 04:21pm +07, hints at deeper issues: Hamilton’s mental state or Ferrari’s inability to realise his potential. Sources close to the team reveal Cullen has felt increasingly sidelined as Hamilton’s frustrations have grown, with his role diminished amid Ferrari’s rigid team structure. Unlike at Mercedes, where he had significant influence, Ferrari’s environment reportedly left it unable to provide Hamilton’s support, prompting his exit.
Cullen’s departure raises serious questions about Hamilton’s Ferrari management, who at 40 is under immense pressure to deliver. The team’s phony strategy in Miami, coupled with Hamilton’s visible discontent, suggests a disconnect that could derail their 2025 campaign. Meanwhile, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri dominated the race, extending his championship lead, while Hamilton languishes without a podium in his first Ferrari season. Cullen’s exit also fuels speculation about his next move, with some suggesting a return to IndyCar, where he worked with Marcus Armstrong in 2024, while others wonder if he will reconnect with Hamilton outside the Ferrari picture. For now, Ferrari faces a PR crisis and a driver turmoil, with the paddock buzzing over whether Hamilton can salvage his dream move or whether Miami marks the beginning of the end.
