Hamilton's parents divorced when he was a toddler, and he credits both his mother and stepmother as being positive influences in his upbringing. "I don't really fully understand the whole idea that when people get married the woman loses her name," Hamilton said, "And I really want my mum's name to continue on with the Hamilton name." We are working on it."

Lewis Hamilton vs Max Verstappen and George Russell: The ... (Sky Sports)

The 2022 F1 season is nearly here. We've had the launches, heard from the drivers and team bosses and now seen the latest generation of cars out on track.

It sounds like he has been spending a lot of time at the factory working in the simulator and with the engineers. However, the stunning form Lewis showed in the final part of last season should be a warning shot for George. In the past two seasons, Lewis and Max have raised the bar in terms of consistent brilliance in a way that Michael did 20 years ago. I spent a couple of days with the Mercedes team and drivers around the factory in Brackley and up at Silverstone when they were running their new car for the first time. The laps in Silverstone, Spa and Russia last year were among the best of the season. The controversial season finale would have done one of two things - (a) made Lewis feel disillusioned and fed up with the sport; or (b) lit a massive fire under his fuse, which as we saw in Brazil last year, makes him unstoppable. He made it very clear that while Ron Dennis had suggested to Lewis that he ought to spend six months being half a second behind Fernando as an understudy, Toto expects George to be right up there fighting for pole position and wins from the opening race in Bahrain. The added dynamic to this whole battle for 2022 is going to be George Russell. The young Brit has earned his place alongside Lewis at Mercedes and this battle is getting me excited more than anything else. There's the incredible self-belief and confidence of a young driver who knows that he has a god-given talent that only a few people in the history of the sport have ever possessed. In a parallel to Senna, Max has redefined the rules of engagement against his competitors on track. Like Prost used to, there's a huge amount of focus on getting the car set up and dialled in for the race. In so many ways, like Lewis, he had been there, done it and established himself as the best driver of his generation. There are some fascinating dynamics in play for this year and really the most interesting rivalry following on from 2021 is between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.

Lewis Hamilton is number 44 because it is his family’s lucky number. Lewis has spent time with his dad, meditating in the garden as they watched the sun rise. Lewis mostly grew up with his father and stepmother Linda but he has often spoken of his family bond in recent years. Lewis then moved in with his father Anthony, stepmother Linda and his half-brother Nicholas, who is also a professional racing driver. Lewis confirmed that he is currently in the process of changing his name, as he expressed his views on women who lose their surnames after marriage. He held a surprise 60th birthday part in London in 2015 for his mum, and singer Jessie J performed at the bash.
