Since the start of his professional F1 career in 2007, record-breaker Lewis Hamilton has already undergone multiple changes to his name.
In 2009, Hamilton received an MBE from Queen Elizabeth II just one year after his first world championship win.
Then 11 years later, he was named in the New Year’s Honours list in December 2020.
Since receiving his knighthood from the Prince of Wales in 2021, the world-champion has earned his title as F1 royalty – going by the new name of Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton MBE.
Hamilton, who was accompanied by his mother for his knighthood at Windsor Castle last December, said he is unsure when the name change will be officially ratified.
He was asked whether his new name will be confirmed in time for this weekend’s season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, but said he didn’t know.
