Heartbreaking News: Lewis Hamilton Overcome with Emotion as His Mother Carmen Larbalestier Collapses in Canada — Her Condition Remains Critical
In a surprising and emotional announcement that has left fans worldwide in disbelief, Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton revealed just 55 minutes ago from Montreal, Canada, that his 69-year-old mother, Carmen Larbalestier, unexpectedly collapsed and was taken to the hospital earlier today.
With tears in his eyes, Hamilton delivered the heartbreaking news to the media and fans gathered for the Canadian Grand Prix. His voice trembling with emotion, he said, “I’ve never felt like this before. My mom has always supported me, and I’m asking for your prayers now more than ever. She hasn’t regained consciousness yet, and at this point, we’re just hoping for any signs of improvement.”
Carmen, a steadfast supporter of her son throughout his distinguished career, was reportedly at her hotel when the incident took place. Hamilton had spent significant time with her that day before she unexpectedly fell ill, leading to the arrival of emergency services. Paramedics promptly arrived on scene and performed CPR before taking her to a nearby hospital, where she is currently in critical condition.
The doctors have not yet provided a definitive diagnosis; however, they have confirmed that her condition is critical and she remains unconscious. Her family is reportedly by her side, waiting anxiously for any signs of change.
Support for Hamilton has poured in from fans, fellow drivers, and the entire Formula 1 community. Social media is abuzz with messages of encouragement. Even Max Verstappen, one of Hamilton’s fiercest rivals, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram: “No race is worth more than family. I’m thinking of you, Lewis. Stay strong.”
In a surprising decision, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team canceled all of Hamilton’s media commitments for the day. Team Principal Toto Wolff expressed sincere support, stating, “Lewis is like family to us. Our attention at this moment is entirely on him and his mother as we pray for her recovery.”
Carmen Larbalestier, a steadfast figure in her son’s life, has largely stayed away from the limelight over the years. However, she is frequently spotted at races supporting Hamilton enthusiastically. Her influence and unwavering support throughout his career are well-known, with those close to him often citing her as one of his most reliable sources of strength.
As this story develops, the racing world anxiously hopes for a miracle. The sorrow in Hamilton’s voice today exposed the genuine emotional burden of being in the public eye—fame and success offer no shield against life’s vulnerabilities. At present, the entire focus of the Hamilton family is on Carmen, while everyone else awaits updates on her recovery.
We are keeping Lewis and his family in our thoughts during this challenging period. Please stay tuned for more updates.
