It has not officially been finalised, but Lewis Hamilton started the process of changing his name for personal reasons.
In early 2022, Lewis Hamilton announced his intention to change his name to include his mother’s surname, Larbalestier, in honor of her. Although traditionally taking his father’s surname at birth, Hamilton desired his mother’s name to be recognized as well. As of today, it remains unclear whether the name change has been officially processed, almost three years later. Hamilton expressed his pride in his family name, Hamilton, while emphasizing the importance of his mother’s name, Larbalestier. Despite the planned name change, current official listings still only identify him as ‘Lewis Hamilton’ in the FIA records.
