Formula 1: Lewis Hamilton adding his mother’s surname

On March 14th, 2022, Lewis Hamilton announced that he is going to change his name. He took this step just to honor his mother, Carmen.

Lewis while attending the Dubai Expo said, “I’m really proud of my family’s name: Hamilton. Actually, none of you might know that my mum’s surname is Larbalestier. And I’m just about to put that in my name. Because I don’t really fully understand the whole idea of why, when people get married, the woman loses her name.”

Hamilton was asked whether he would change his name for the first race held in Bahrain. To which Lewis replied, “It will be soon. No, I don’t know if it will be this weekend. But we’re working on it.”
