Lewis Hamilton has reportedly ended his partnership with his long-time professional associate ahead of the 2026 Formula 1 season. This development follows sightings of the seven-time world champion with Kim Kardashian in both the Cotswolds and Paris recently, sparking rumors of a potential romantic involvement. Hamilton had been single since his split from Nicole Scherzinger in 2015.
According to reports from the Mail, the 41-year-old racer has separated from Marc Hynes, who has now taken on a new role with F1’s latest team, Cadillac. Hynes previously served as the chief executive of Project 44, Hamilton’s management company, from 2015 to 2021, before rejoining the team last year to oversee racing logistics at Ferrari.
The split between Hamilton and Hynes, who attended most of Hamilton’s races in 2025 along with trainer Angela Cullen, is said to have been amicable. This change is part of a broader restructuring in Hamilton’s team as he prepares for the upcoming F1 season, with Riccardo Adami no longer acting as his race engineer at Ferrari.
Despite a challenging first season with Ferrari, Hamilton remains optimistic about the upcoming campaign after posting impressive lap times during testing. The British driver expressed satisfaction with the team’s efforts over the winter to make improvements to the car, highlighting a positive outlook for the races ahead.
Off the track, speculations about Hamilton’s relationship with Kardashian have been circulating, describing the pair as inseparable and discreetly managing their time together amidst busy schedules. Sky has also announced upgrades to its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle, offering a comprehensive range of channels and coverage, including Formula 1 events throughout the season.
