Hamilton reunites with Hynes as Copper management deal ends
Former British Touring Car Championship racer and 1999 British Formula 3 champion Marc Hynes, who struck up a friendship with Lewis Hamilton during their time together at Manor team, served as a driver coach for Manor and remained close to Hamilton after he made it to F1. In December 2015, Hynes joined Hamilton’s Project 44 organization and looked after his day-to-day activities while being present at races, but left at the start of 2021. Hynes subsequently became a key part of Zhou Guanyu’s management team, along with his longtime associate Graeme Lowdon. Hamilton started working with Copper and its boss Penni Thow from 2021 to 2023, primarily focusing on expanding Project 44 and pursuing ventures outside racing. Despite the end of their main management contract, Hamilton will continue to work with Thow on ongoing projects such as the Brad Pitt F1 film. Hynes will now solely focus on Hamilton’s racing activities and support his commitment to reclaiming the top spot in Formula 1.
