Lewis Hamilton has reportedly ended his professional partnership with Marc Hynes in preparation for the upcoming 2026 Formula 1 season. This development follows Hamilton’s recent outings with Kim Kardashian in the Cotswolds and Paris, sparking rumors of a romantic involvement between the two.

Hynes, 47, has chosen to pursue a new role with F1’s latest team, Cadillac, according to The Mail. Formerly the chief executive of Project 44, Hamilton’s management company, Hynes had previously worked with Hamilton from 2015 to 2021. Their split was amicable, and Hynes returned to oversee Hamilton’s racing logistics at Ferrari last year.

The separation signifies a broader restructuring within Hamilton’s team as F1 gears up for the upcoming season. Ferrari recently announced the departure of Riccardo Adami as Hamilton’s race engineer, with Cedric Michel-Grosjean expected to fill the position.

Despite a challenging first season with Ferrari, Hamilton is optimistic about the upcoming campaign after setting the fastest lap during testing in Barcelona. The changes in Hamilton’s team are part of the preparations for the 2026 F1 season, which promises a more level playing field with new eco-friendly regulations.

Off the track, speculations about Hamilton’s relationship with Kardashian have been circulating, describing them as inseparable and strategically avoiding public attention during their outings.
