Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton says he will change his name to incorporate his mother Carmen’s surname. The 37-year-old Briton will include ‘Larbalestier’ as a middle name rather than adding it to his surname. My mum’s name is Larbalestier and I’m just about to put that in my name,” said Hamilton. “I really want her name to continue on with the Hamilton name.”. Mercedes driver Hamilton said he is “working on” the name change but it will not be official for the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday. Hamilton said: “I’ve come back to fight for that eighth (title) – that’s what I’m here for.”.
