Lewis Hamilton has reportedly ended his partnership with long-time associate Marc Hynes as the 2026 Formula 1 season approaches. This development follows sightings of Hamilton with Kim Kardashian in both the Cotswolds and Paris recently, sparking rumors of a potential romantic involvement. Hynes, who previously served as the chief executive of Project 44, Hamilton’s management company, has now transitioned to a new role with F1’s newest team, Cadillac.
The split between Hamilton and Hynes, described as amicable, marks a significant change in Hamilton’s support team as he gears up for the upcoming F1 season. In a broader restructuring effort, Ferrari has confirmed the departure of Riccardo Adami as Hamilton’s race engineer, with Cedric Michel-Grosjean poised to assume the role.
Despite a challenging debut season with Ferrari, Hamilton remains optimistic after setting the fastest lap among the drivers during recent testing in Barcelona. The British racer expressed satisfaction with the team’s preparations and the improved driving experience with the new SF-26 car. Speculation around Hamilton’s relationship with Kardashian continues to swirl, with reports of the pair being inseparable and discreetly managing their busy schedules to spend time together.
As the Formula 1 landscape evolves in 2026 with new eco-friendly regulations, Hamilton appears focused on bouncing back from past setbacks and embracing the changes in the sport.
