I mean Angela does say Hamilton offers to carry stuff but she absolutely refuses to let him as she feels it would be her not fully doing her job.
The above instagram post is an interactive, you can click on it to go directly to Angela's instagram story post
But if you don't want to click on it here is the quote:
"GRID PROCEDURE: This is me on my way to the grid. You will see me carrying many things over the race weekend and is very much part of my amazing job .. When my boss offers to carry them I won’t let him because that would be me not doing my job !! I’m very bossy like this .. In my grid bags I carry everything that could be possibly needed for a complete reset on the grid .. I have a full race kit .. which we needed once when the drink bottle in the car leaked during laps to the grid and also for rainy races and red flags to refresh and keep dry , I have a spare helmet , balaclava , gloves and radio again for a red flag or failure or a problem with the ones he has on. I remember for one race with 40 secs to go before formation lap he put on his gloves and the stitching split leaving a hole on his clutch paddle fingers and we had to do a super quick change on the grid . I also carry a medical kit , and his phone and ear pieces so he can listen to music before the race . You maybalso see me carrying an air conditioning fan and umbrella to keep him cool . Often we will use nothing from the bags but when we do it is always a critical change so good preparation is key to ensuring you have everything in hand .."
But in terms of appearance imo Ocon's PA is more attractive, but in terms of best suited for the job I think Angela is far better. She has been with Hamilton for a super long time and actually cares for him and is always by his side (travels with him, looks after his dog Roscoe, takes care of his injuries etc).
I know alot of you guys are not huge Hamilton fans (me personally my favorite drivers are: Seb, George, Stroll (gotta have a Canadian in there sorry goatifi you're up there but not on the top tier of my list - and besides the drivers I really like the engineering side of things which is why I love mercedes as a team and their awesome developments, philosophy, and break down videos), and I'm rooting hard for Mick. However I really respect Hamilton, because of his back story and the immense obstacles he had to overcome to make it into F1 and be as successful as he was. He literally is the embodiment of comes from absolutely nothing and made it to the top, and I really respect that.
