Formula 1 | Lewis Hamilton plans to change the last name in honor of his mother

Formula the seven-time world champion of the number one Lewis Hamilton plans to change his last name soon.

Hamilton said Monday he wanted to honor his mother by changing his name Carmen Larbalestieriand the 37-year-old British may soon be known by the name Lewis Hamilton-Larbalestier.

“My mother’s last name is Larbalestier, and I’m just adding it to my own name. I don’t fully understand why a woman loses her last name when people get married, ”Hamilton said at the Dubai Expo World Expo.

“I really want my mother’s last name to continue alongside Hamilton’s name.”

Larbalestier and Hamilton’s father Anthony Hamilton differed when Lewis was small. Hamilton lived with his mother until he was 12 years old.

Hamilton will begin pursuing the eighth World Championship in his career as the F1 season begins next weekend in Bahrain.
