Lewis Hamilton's former physiotherapist Angela Cullen has made her first public appearance since splitting with the seven-time F1 world champion.
Hamilton and Cullen enjoyed seven years working together but parted ways at the start of the 2023 season.
Cullen, who played hockey for New Zealand as a teenager and into her early twenties, said she would be taking on new challenges.

Now, she's popped up in another motorsport series – IndyCar.
At the non-championship Thermal Club event, Cullen was spotted for the first time working with Kiwi compatriot Marcus Armstrong.
The Chip Ganassi Racing driver is in his first season of IndyCar as a full-time driver and said he has already noticed a difference working with the high-performance coach.
"She's a Kiwi as well, so we linked up over the off-season and so far so good," said Armstrong.
"I've gained a bit of weight, finally. These cars are animals to drive so you've got to be in top form to be able to wrestle it around.
"She's been a great help to me and we're just trying to progress through to win some races."
Armstrong failed to finish the season-opener in St Petersburg but was running competitively on the fringe of the top 10 until his untimely exit.
At the $1 Million Challenge race, he wound up fifth and pocketed $76,640 for the result.
Armstrong said Cullen's influence is all about finding whatever edge he can over his rivals.
"It's the one-percenters in this sport because everyone is at such a high level," he explained.
"Being a good physical form as well is obviously a part of it, that's not a secret, but it's the little things.
"It's how to get your mind on top of it all and eliminate those distractions and get those results."
Armstrong, 23, was part of Ferrari's driver academy and testing with the F1 team during his time in F2.
He took rookie of the year honours in the 2023 IndyCar Series despite missing the five oval races.
