Lewis Hamilton has reportedly ended his partnership with his longtime professional associate in preparation for the 2026 Formula 1 season. This development follows the sighting of the seven-time world champion with Kim Kardashian in both the Cotswolds and Paris recently, sparking rumors of a potential romantic involvement.
The split from his professional partner, Marc Hynes, aged 47, who has opted to join F1’s newest team, Cadillac, was disclosed by sources. Hynes previously served as the chief executive of Project 44, Hamilton’s management firm, from 2015 to 2021. Despite their separation, they parted ways amicably, and Hynes had rejoined Hamilton’s team last year to oversee his racing logistics at Ferrari.
Hamilton’s team restructuring ahead of the upcoming F1 season includes changes in personnel, such as the replacement of his race engineer, Riccardo Adami, with Cedric Michel-Grosjean. Despite a challenging first season with Ferrari, Hamilton expressed optimism after recent testing sessions, where he recorded the fastest lap time among all drivers.
The British racing driver emphasized the positive atmosphere within the team and his satisfaction with the new car’s performance characteristics. Speculation about Hamilton’s relationship with Kim Kardashian continues to circulate, with reports of their close bond and discreet outings to avoid public attention.
