My mom has always been my biggest supporter. I’m asking everyone to please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. She hasn’t regained consciousness, and we’re just holding on to hope right now.”

Carmen has long been known as a powerful presence in Hamilton’s life, often attending his races and cheering from the sidelines. Now, fans and the racing community worldwide are united in concern, hoping for positive news in the days ahead. Further updates are expected soon.
