Lewis Hamilton has reportedly ended his professional partnership ahead of the 2026 Formula 1 season. The separation follows sightings of the seven-time world champion with Kim Kardashian in both the Cotswolds and Paris recently.
Their public outings have sparked rumors of a romantic involvement between the two, especially since Hamilton has been single since parting ways with Nicole Scherzinger in 2015. Another significant split has occurred in Hamilton’s team, with reports from the Mail indicating that the 41-year-old has parted ways with Marc Hynes. Hynes, 47, is said to have accepted a new position with F1’s newest team, Cadillac.
Previously, Hynes served as the chief executive of Project 44, Hamilton’s management company, from 2015 to 2021. Despite their previous separation, Hynes rejoined the team last year to oversee Hamilton’s racing logistics at Ferrari.
The changes in Hamilton’s team come as part of a broader restructuring before the upcoming F1 season restarts in March. Ferrari announced the departure of Riccardo Adami as Hamilton’s race engineer, with Cedric Michel-Grosjean poised to take over the role.
Hamilton faced challenges in his first season with Ferrari, failing to secure a podium finish at a Grand Prix for the first time in his career. However, following testing in Barcelona, Hamilton expressed optimism about the upcoming season, having recorded the fastest lap among the drivers present.
The shift in personnel is part of the preparations for a transformative year in F1, marked by new eco-friendly regulations aimed at leveling the competition. Hamilton praised the driving experience with Ferrari’s new SF-26, highlighting its improved handling and enjoyment.
Amidst the on-track developments, speculations about Hamilton’s relationship with Kardashian have been circulating. Sources suggest that the pair’s busy schedules have led them to prioritize spending time together, with their recent dates carefully coordinated to accommodate Kardashian’s work commitments.
