Seven-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has revealed that he is in the process of changing his name as he wants to incorporate his mother`s surname Larbalestier. Hamilton, speaking at the 2022 Dubai Expo, said, "I`m really proud of my family`s name, Hamilton. None of you might know that my mum`s name is Larbalestier and I am just about to put that in my name," he said.
"I don`t fully understand the idea that when people get married the woman loses their name. I really want my mum to continue with the Hamilton name," the 37-year-old was quoted as saying by Skysports. Hamilton`s mother Carmen Larbalestier, now Lockhart, separated from his father Anthony Hamilton when the future F1 world champion was two years old. Asked how he viewed the pecking order ahead of the season start, Hamilton backed Mercedes to be strong, even in the face of stiff opposition from their rivals.
