Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has announced the passing of his cherished bulldog, Roscoe, leaving fans around the globe heartbroken. Hamilton shared the news on the morning of Monday, September 29, 2025, prompting an outpouring of sympathy and support on social media.
Roscoe had been part of Hamilton’s life since 2013, accompanying him through both the triumphs and challenges of the racing world. More than a pet, the bulldog became a fixture in Hamilton’s personal and professional journey, earning a devoted following among fans who affectionately considered him F1’s most famous canine.
Hamilton paid tribute to Roscoe in an emotional post, writing: “Lost my best friend last night. Thank you all for the love you’ve shown him over the years. Roscoe forever.” The message reflected the deep bond between the driver and his companion, highlighting the dog’s role as family rather than just a pet.
Roscoe frequently appeared alongside Hamilton at iconic moments in Formula 1 history. He was present in Istanbul in 2020 when Hamilton secured his seventh world championship, equaling the legendary Michael Schumacher. From Monaco’s glamorous streets to Monza’s historic circuits, fans often cheered for Roscoe as enthusiastically as they did for Hamilton himself.
