Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says “we develop as an organisation and if things don’t work out anymore, then we need to be honest about it and then bring change”.
Yesterday Lewis Hamilton and his long-time physiotherapist and assistant Angela Cullen surprised everyone when they announced the end of their seven-year partnership.
At the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Friday press conference, Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff was asked if he knew “this was coming”.
“I don’t know what has been announced,” the Austrian said.
“Angela was part of the gang for a long time. I think in every team, whether that is his close circle, or also in the wider group, you know, this is not a static situation that you can freeze, because we all develop as people.

“We develop as an organisation and if things don’t work out anymore, then we need to be honest about it and then bring change.
“Angela will always be a mascot of the team. She’s the only one who has a louder voice than a starting car.
“But, you know, if this is what he decides, we will always absolutely support him, whatever direct direction he wants to take,” Wolff concluded.
