When Formula 1 fans think of Lewis Hamilton, they picture the speed, the trophies, and the unforgettable moments on the track. But behind the seven-time world champion’s success lies a softer side, one defined by loyalty, love, and deep bonds. This became evident when Toto Wolff, Mercedes’ team principal and Hamilton’s longtime confidant, revealed a touching detail about Hamilton’s emotional journey after losing his beloved bulldog, Roscoe.
The revelation came during the Japanese Grand Prix in September 2025, where Wolff spoke candidly at a press conference. In a rare glimpse beyond racing, he shared how Hamilton once confided in him about preparing Roscoe’s resting place next to his other late dog, Coco. For many, it was a poignant reminder that even heroes of speed face the same grief and heartbreak we all do.
