Lewis Hamilton ‘splits with key team member for SECOND time’
Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton has reportedly split from his closest professional partner for a second time, just weeks before the start of the 2026 F1 season, according to Daily Mail Sport.
Hamilton has parted ways with Marc Hynes, his former manager and chief executive of Project 44, as reported.
Hynes had previously worked closely with Hamilton between 2015 and 2021 before this recent split.
Hamilton had recruited Hynes again in 2025, before his switch from Mercedes to Ferrari, in an attempt to bolster his personal squad.
Hynes had taken up a new role with the new Cadillac F1 team, and now holds a position as ‘Zhou Guanyu F1 Management and Athlete Representation’
The 2026 F1 season will start in Melbourne for the Australian Grand Prix on March 8.
