In Dubai for Expo, the seven-time F1 world champion announces: “I don’t think it right for a woman to lose her surname when she is married. My mother’s name, Carmen Larbalestier, will appear with my Hamilton”

Seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton will change the name – not entirely, in fact, but he will add his mother’s surname, Carmen Larbalestier, to his. This was revealed by the British champion himself a few days before the start of the F1 2022 World Championship. The change will come soon, and Lewis will officially become Hamilton-Larbalastier.

Hamilton’s surname

“My mother’s surname is Larbalestier and I will add it to mine,” he explained during a public event at the Dubai Expo. “Because I never quite understood the fact that when people get married the woman has to lose her surname. And so I want my mother’s surname to appear with Hamilton in the future.” When? “Soon”, but not before the start of the World Cup in Bahrain on March 20. Hamilton’s parents Carmen and Anthony divorced when Lewis was 12: “I’ll fix one thing at a time,” Hamilton said, adding, “I’m going back to the World Championship because I want the eighth title.” The lion, like the one tattooed on his body, is ready to roar again. This time with an extra surname to appear in the roll of honor.
