It was none other than the coolest dog in the paddock, Roscoe Hamilton. The adorable British Bulldog sat comfortably next to Bono, carefully analyzing the upcoming race.

Lewis shared similar posts on the pooch’s account. “I work with Bono to make sure Daddy’s car is fast.” Hamilton and his equally fashionable dog are inseparable. When the teams arrive at Silverstone, we obviously see the iconic duo advancing together.

Roscoe’s extra help could be needed in an important race for Hamilton. He is 32 points behind table leader Max Verstappen.
Lewis didn’t have the triple header he wanted; he lost his pace and didn’t quite hit the mark. Therefore, Mercedes has upgraded the machine and is looking forward to the string circuit for it.
The home track has proven to be very lucky for the Briton. Hamilton has taken 7 victories at the British Grand Prix but is concerned that this could be a “massive challenge”.

Commenting on his ongoing battle with Verstappen, he says, “It’s one of the biggest challenges we’ve faced and it puts pressure on us like never before and we love it.” He sums it up as “a cool season”.

Even if Hamilton has the upper hand with the track, it would be difficult to gain Vertappen’s lead.
