Lewis Hamilton has reportedly ended his working relationship with his long-time professional partner as the 2026 Formula 1 season approaches. This development follows sightings of the seven-time world champion with Kim Kardashian in the Cotswolds and Paris recently, sparking rumors of a potential romantic involvement. Hamilton has been single since his split from Nicole Scherzinger in 2015, and now, there has been a separation in his professional team.
According to reports from The Mail, the 41-year-old racing driver has parted ways with Marc Hynes, who has chosen to join F1’s latest team, Cadillac. Hynes previously served as the CEO of Project 44, Hamilton’s management company, from 2015 to 2021. The split between Hamilton and Hynes appears to have been amicable, continuing a pattern of mutual understanding in their professional dealings.
The change in Hamilton’s team structure comes as part of a broader reorganization ahead of the upcoming F1 season set to start in March. Ferrari recently announced the departure of Riccardo Adami as Hamilton’s race engineer, with Cedric Michel-Grosjean expected to take over the role. Despite a challenging first season with Ferrari, Hamilton expressed optimism after testing in Barcelona, where he set the fastest lap among all drivers present.
The shift in Hamilton’s team dynamics reflects ongoing adjustments in the F1 landscape for 2026, marked by new environmentally friendly regulations aimed at leveling the competition. Hamilton’s positive outlook on the new season is reinforced by his satisfaction with the changes made by his team during the offseason. Off the track, speculation surrounding his relationship with Kardashian has been circulating, describing them as inseparable and discreetly managing their time together amidst their busy schedules.
