'My heart stops' - Lewis Hamilton reveals special plans for Roscoe post-illness

Lewis Hamilton has revealed his heartwarming plans to bring his beloved bulldog, Roscoe, to the Silverstone and Monza circuits later this year, following the dog's recent recovery from pneumonia.

Roscoe, at 12 and a half years old, is considered elderly for a bulldog. Hamilton confessed that his "heart stops" whenever he receives a message from Roscoe's carer, highlighting his deep concern given his dog's age and recent health scare.

Despite the rigorous demands of the F1 calendar, Hamilton prioritizes spending time with Roscoe. He is reportedly planning a special outfit for Roscoe for his potential appearances at the two iconic circuits, marking a celebration of his recovery.

"Yeah, he's doing quite well," Hamilton shared. "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."

He elaborated, "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."
