“I already have my granddad from my dad’s side in my middle name, which is Davidson. And obviously Hamilton.

“But I thought, it was supposed to be a surprise. It ended up being a surprise, but I was going to tell my mum first before people saw it. It just slipped out!

“I’ve already applied for it, and as I said, it won’t be a surname. It will be an addition to my middle name,” concluded the Briton.
