FORMULA ONE fans are convinced that Lewis Hamilton could reunite with a much-loved ex-team member when he officially begins life as a Ferrari driver next month.
The seven-time world champion announced his departure from Mercedes last February, putting an end to his 11-year stay with the German team.
Following his final race with Toto Wolff and Co in December, Hamilton stepped back from the spotlight to enjoy a well-earned break with his nearest and dearest.
But on his 40th birthday earlier this week he shared a picture of himself on a skiing holiday.
He wrote: Another one around the sun. Thanks for all the birthday love.
“Hard at work already. Talk soon.”
Eagle-eyed F1 fans noticed that his former physio and trainer, Angela Cullen, also shared a picture of herself on the slopes at a similar time.
Some are now convinced that they could be preparing to reunite at Ferrari this season.
One person speculated: “OMG SHE IS SO ON THAT TRIP WITH LEWIS. HOLD ON ANGELA COULD BE BACK!!!!!!!”
Another wrote on social media: “Back with Lewis to Ferrari?”

While a third commented: “Getting my hopes up over here.”
Hamilton and Cullen were almost inseparable during their seven years together in the paddock.
The ex-Mercedes man was left devastated when she moved on but admitted he was “grateful” to still have her in his life as a close friend.
Speaking after the two parted ways ahead of the 2023 season, Hamilton said: “People for sure won’t understand it, naturally, because they see it from a distance, but she has been one of the greatest things that’s happened to me in my life.
“I’ve been fortunate to work with a lot of people… and she’s the single hardest-working woman that I get to be around.
“She’s focused, selfless, and she makes my weekends peaceful. Every day I wake up, whatever time it is, she’s just positive – never a single day has she been negative, so that’s very, very important.
“I think it’s important in life to put positive people around you. You can’t be going around with deadweights, you can’t be going around with people who don’t inspire you to be better and lift you up when you’re down.
“You need to be around people who can do that for you, and she’s one of them.”
Hamilton will step into the Ferrari for the first time next month during pre-season testing.
The 2025 F1 campaign gets underway on March 14 in Australia.
