One of the most intense parts of a Grand Prix weekend is the rapid qualification. Drives push their car to the limit and try to get the fastest lap on the track. Therefore, Cullen is nervous and hopes that Hamilton can get the most out of the Mercedes with which he is starting from pole for Sunday’s race.

She wrote on Instagram: “I love every day of a race weekend, but it’s Saturday. Third practice session is always quick and furious trying to fine-tune the car for that fast lap without losing performance for race day.

“Then the debriefing immediately after the session is intensive and long, with numerous discussions about the vehicle set-up between drivers and engineers, which sometimes last until they get into the car.”

“I love the atmosphere in the technical room, which is so focused and always excited, with a subliminal intensity of the task at hand that I’m usually just there and try not to be too nervous. or overly excited at the same time
I just love the qualifying day, ”she concluded.
