Lewis Hamilton has reportedly ended his partnership with his long-time professional associate ahead of the 2026 Formula 1 season. The news surfaced following sightings of the seven-time world champion with Kim Kardashian in both the Cotswolds and Paris recently, sparking rumors about a potential romantic involvement between the two.
The split in Hamilton’s team involves Marc Hynes, as per reports from The Mail. Hynes, aged 47, has opted to pursue a new opportunity with F1’s newest team, Cadillac. Previously, Hynes held the position of chief executive at Project 44, Hamilton’s management company, from 2015 to 2021. Despite their prior separation, Hamilton and Hynes maintained an amicable relationship, with Hynes returning to oversee Hamilton’s racing logistics at Ferrari last year.
The restructuring within Hamilton’s team comes ahead of the upcoming F1 season, with notable changes in his support staff. Ferrari announced the departure of his race engineer, Riccardo Adami, with Cedric Michel-Grosjean expected to take over the role. Hamilton faced challenges during his initial season with Ferrari but is optimistic for the upcoming campaign, showcasing promising performance during testing sessions.
Away from the racing track, speculations regarding Hamilton’s rumored relationship with Kardashian have been circulating, describing the duo as inseparable and discreet in their public appearances. Their schedules are reportedly synchronized to maximize their time together amidst their busy work commitments.
