Though the seven-time world champion has insisted that the name change will come too soon for this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix.
Speaking onstage at the 2022 Dubai Expo, he said: “I’m really proud of my family’s name: Hamilton.
“Actually none of you might know that my mum’s [sur]name is Larbalestier. And I’m just about to put that in my name.
“Because I don’t really fully understand the whole idea of why, when people get married, the woman loses her name.
“I really want her name to continue on with the Hamilton name.”
Asked if the change would be in time for Sunday’s race, he remarked: “It will be soon.
“No, I don’t know if it will be this weekend. But we’re working on it.”
