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.
