Lewis Hamilton says he 'misses Roscoe every day' ahead of first Silverstone race without beloved dog

Lewis Hamilton reflected that he misses both of his famous dogs, Roscoe and Coco, "every day", as he prepares for a British Grand Prix without a pet pal for the first time.

Hamilton and Roscoe were inseparable, with the English Bulldog frequently accompanying the seven-time Formula 1 champion in the paddock. 

After Hamilton lost Coco suddenly in 2020 to a suspected heart attack, Roscoe continued by his side until September 2025, when he passed following a battle with pneumonia.

"It's kind of crazy," said the Ferrari driver. "I mean, for all those that have dogs and I miss him every day. So, I miss both of my dogs every day. 

"I still have them on my other phone. I have, a picture of him. But yeah, it's kind of crazy."

Sitting alongside former Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas, Hamilton caused laughter to erupt in the packed Silverstone press room as he remembered the 'presents' left outside the Finn's motorhome.

He continued: "I remember just always he would always be snoring through the night, waking up in the middle of the night, take him outside to take a poo in front of Valtteri's thing, and then... He just always went there; I don't know why!"

Causing further laughter, Bottas added: "To me, it was a present."

"It was a present, yeah, added Hamilton. "Just leaving your gift behind. But it was amazing to see the love that he got here when he came, so, you know, he was very much a part of Silverstone."
