Cullen back in motorsport

Armstrong was considered a great talent for many years, but failed to make the step towards F1. Armstrong was attached to Ferrari's Academy from 2017 to 2021 and won the prestigious Italian F4 championship. Armstrong still finished second in the Formula 3 championship in 2019 but did not go beyond four wins in three years of F2. In 2023, he switched to America.

For Cullen, it is a return to motorsport since leaving F1 in early 2023. Cullen had been by Hamilton's side since 2016 and was seen as a key friend of the seven-time world champion in addition to being his physio.
