en.malanginspirasi.com – Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has shared a heartfelt tribute to his late English bulldog Roscoe on the first anniversary of his death.
He posted a collection of photos and videos that captured their decade together.
Roscoe passed away on September 28, 2025, at the age of 12 after a battle with pneumonia.
The dog had been hospitalized, suffered cardiac arrest under sedation, and spent four days on life support before Hamilton made what he described at the time as the hardest decision of my life to say goodbye.
Roscoe died in Hamilton’s arms.

In his anniversary post, the Ferrari driver wrote: “It’s been one year since Roscoe’s passing. Being without my best friend has been hard, and there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t wish he was with me. I think of him and Coco every day, and as sad as I am to not have them, I’m so grateful for the time I shared with them and to have had them in my life. They’ve been there for some of the happiest times of my life. Today, I’m looking through these photos and videos, laughing and smiling so big, remembering those moments. So many of you have been through this and reached out with love and support. It means so much to me, knowing how much Roscoe was loved. Rest in peace buddy, love you always.”
The images and clips spanned their years together—from paddock adventures during race weekends to quiet moments at home on the couch.
Hamilton adopted Roscoe in 2013 alongside another bulldog, Coco, who died of a suspected heart attack in 2020.
Roscoe quickly became a fixture in the Formula 1 world. Former F1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone granted him his own official paddock pass, and the charming bulldog traveled to races, appeared in team motorhomes, and won over fans worldwide.
His own Instagram account amassed more than 1.4 million followers.
Fans responded by sharing their own stories of pet loss, echoing the outpouring of support Hamilton received when Roscoe first passed.
At the time, the F1 community—including teams, drivers, and the official Formula 1 account—offered condolences, with many calling Roscoe “a true star in his own right.”
Why This Is Trending
The anniversary post is resonating widely because Roscoe was far more than a celebrity pet—he was a genuine, beloved character in the high-stakes world of Formula 1.
For over a decade, he humanized one of the sport’s most successful and high-profile drivers, turning up in the paddock with his own pass and winning hearts with his easy charm.
Hamilton’s open vulnerability about ongoing grief, the shared memories of both Roscoe and Coco, and the invitation for fans to reflect on their own losses have created a powerful emotional connection.
Pet owners especially relate to the lasting pain of saying goodbye to a companion, and Hamilton’s massive global following (tens of millions across social platforms) amplifies every heartfelt update.
