Max Verstappen Destroys Lewis Hamilton’s Rebellious Attempt to Honor Mother Carmen Larbalestier

Lewis Hamilton seemed inconsolable after Max Verstappen shattered the 7x World champion’s dream of winning the record-breaking eighth world title. However, it looks like the 2021 triumph by Max Verstappen didn’t only stop Lewis Hamilton’s F1 dream but also his rebellious attempt to honor his mother, Carmen Larbalestier. But how did Max Verstappen manage to do so?

Lewis Hamilton can very well be labeled as a social activist. The Briton uses his platform to make people aware of all the social evil around the world. Hamilton is also very vocal about it as he mentions and takes steps to solve various norms made around the world. Once such a statement was made back in 2020 during the expo in Dubai. 

Lewis Hamilton advised that he will be making changes to his name at the registry office. The 7x Champion’s mother’s name is Carmen Larbalestier. Hamilton suggested that he will be adding his mother’s surname Larbalestier to his name as he questioned the norm where a woman loses her surname. The Briton, however, wants to get one thing done at a time and will get the name changed only once he wins the eighth championship.

According to corrieredellosport.it, Lewis Hamilton said, “I’m going to get one thing at a time. Starting with the World Cup, because I want the eighth title.” [Translated Via Google]. However, Max Verstappen’s dominance and championship wins in 2021 and 2022 have stopped Hamilton from winning his 8th title, hence delaying the process of name change.

Nonetheless, Verstappen’s dominance hasn’t stopped Lewis Hamilton from dreaming and staying motivated for the record-breaking 8th World Championship as explained by Toto Wolff.

No doubts about Lewis Hamilton’s motivation to win the 8th title

Mercedes hasn’t been able to provide Lewis Hamilton with a competitive car to challenge for the title ever since the disappointment of the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP where the 8th title slipped out of Hamilton’s hand. Nonetheless, Toto Wolff believes that Hamilton still has it in himself to win the 8th title and is motivated despite all the setbacks faced by him.

According to Firstsportz.com, Toto Wolff said, “I think he feels very strong and we just need to give him a car that is capable of doing that, and hopefully we can build a winning package for this season and then have something more that can take him to his eighth title. I have no doubt that he is motivated to achieve this.”
