Roscoe is a British Bulldog and over the years has faced some health issues, including respiratory and joint problems.

In 2020, Lewis decided to switch Roscoe to a vegan diet, which appears to have improved his health since then.

This year, as he entered his thirteenth year, Roscoe was diagnosed with pneumonia, causing concern for Lewis, though his condition has since improved and is now under control.

Hamilton also decided to bring his dog to the paddock for the first time since becoming a Ferrari driver, during his home Grand Prix at Silverstone, where he sadly revealed that Roscoe has lost his hearing.

Nonetheless, Roscoe appeared to be in good health, even exploring the paddock and getting acquainted with the new faces at Ferrari, as shown in the post shared by the team below.

Roscoe is also a bona fide social media star, with his account boasting 1.2 million followers and 581 posts to date, where Lewis shares daily snapshots of his routine.
