Lewis Hamilton pays tribute to late dog Roscoe – and reveals hilarious habit involving Valtteri Bottas’ motorhome

Lewis Hamilton paid tribute to his late dog Roscoe whilst he made a surprising admission ahead of the British Grand Prix.

The F1 legend’s beloved bulldog died after contracting pneumonia last September. The 12-year-old dog had been a constant companion to Hamilton since 2013, frequently appearing at races.

In a press conference on Thursday (2 July), the F1 legend said he misses his dogs Roscoe and Coco - who died in 2020 - “every day”.

He also laughed as he revealed that Roscoe would often relieve himself in front of rival Valtteri’s accommodation. “I’d take him outside to take a poo in front of Valtteri’s motorhome. He just always went there. I don’t know why!”
