Lewis Hamilton has revealed that he hopes to take his beloved
Roscoe to Silverstone and Monza later this year, following a bout
of pneumonia. Hamilton's pet bulldog has become a bit of an icon
in the Formula 1 paddock over the years, although has now reached
the age of 12-and-a-half. It is an incredibly old age for a
bulldog, with Hamilton feeling like his "heart stops" every time
Roscoe's carer contacts the seven-time world champion. Due to the
ever-expanding F1 calendar, spending time with Roscoe has become a
huge challenge for Hamilton; however, he continues to make every
effort to see him. He plans to get Roscoe a special outfit for
potentially two appearances later this year, following a successful
recovery from being unwell. "Yeah, he's doing quite well,"
Hamilton told select media, including RacingNews365 . "He's 12 and
a half years old, so he's an old boy. "He had pneumonia. But he's
fine now, fortunately, but definitely, this is a time where every
time I get a text message from the lady that's looking after him,
my heart stops for a second because I'm like, what's next. "And I
really want to try and bring him to Silverstone, and particularly
to Monza this year, get him a red cape. I think he'd look good in a
red outfit. "It's unusual for a Bulldog to be as old as he is. But
I was with him before Miami, and he still wants to play. He's still
got that kind of youthful spirit. He does like to sleep a lot."
