Lewis Hamilton has reportedly ended his partnership with his long-time professional associate as the 2026 Formula 1 season approaches. This development follows the sighting of the seven-time world champion with Kim Kardashian in both the Cotswolds and Paris recently, sparking speculations about a potential romantic involvement between them.
The split in Hamilton’s professional circle involves Marc Hynes, according to sources. Hynes, 47, has chosen to pursue a new position with F1’s newest team, Cadillac, leaving behind his role with Hamilton. Hynes previously served as the chief executive of Project 44, Hamilton’s management company from 2015 to 2021, before rejoining Hamilton’s team last year to manage the racing logistics at Ferrari.
The separation between Hamilton and Hynes is reported to have been amicable, continuing a trend of positive partings in their history. This change is part of a broader reorganization within Hamilton’s team as they gear up for the upcoming F1 season restart in March. Notably, Hamilton is optimistic about the upcoming campaign after posting the fastest lap time among the 20 drivers during testing in Barcelona.
With Hamilton expressing positivity about the changes made ahead of the new season, there is anticipation surrounding his performance in 2026. Meanwhile, off the track, rumors about his relationship with Kardashian are circulating, with reports suggesting they are spending a significant amount of time together amidst their busy schedules.
In another significant development, Sky has upgraded its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle to include a range of additional services, offering extensive coverage of Formula 1 along with other sports events. This enhanced package now includes HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+, discovery+, and Hayu, in addition to 135 channels and comprehensive Sky Sports content, making it a comprehensive offering for sports enthusiasts.
