In March 2023, Cullen announced her departure, coinciding with Hamilton’s second season without a win.

Alongside serving as his physio, Cullen will also collaborate with the performance team under Race Director Marc Hynes. Speculation arose about Cullen’s return to Hamilton’s side, especially after both shared photos from the mountains, with Cullen adding fuel to the rumors by displaying a flag with Hamilton’s number 44. As Hamilton embarks on a new chapter with Ferrari in 2025, Cullen will continue to be a significant figure in his support system. Despite the professional changes, Hamilton and Cullen have maintained their close relationship, with Hamilton expressing gratitude for their enduring bond in and out of the sport.
