Lewis Hamilton Says He Misses Roscoe and Coco Ahead of First Silverstone Without Roscoe

His comments show how ongoing personal grief and paddock life meet as he returns to his home race while racing for Ferrari.

Overview

  • Hamilton told reporters at a Silverstone press conference on Thursday that he misses both dogs “every day.”
  • He said he keeps a picture of Roscoe as wallpaper on a spare phone and still looks at him daily.
  • Roscoe died in September 2025 after a bout of pneumonia that left him four days on life support and prompted Hamilton to take compassionate leave to be at his side.
  • Hamilton shared lighthearted paddock memories, including that Roscoe used to relieve himself outside then‑teammate Valtteri Bottas’s motorhome, a moment Bottas joked was a “present.”
  • Roscoe was a widely recognized paddock companion with an Instagram following of more than one million and his absence marks Hamilton’s first Silverstone without the dog, a fact that has prompted visible fan and media tributes.
