Lewis Hamilton shared a funny photo on social media in honor of his bulldog Roscoe’s birthday. The Formula 1 champion, who is on the verge of potentially clinching another world title at the Mexican Grand Prix, playfully posted the image on Instagram. The snapshot shows Roscoe rocking oversized gold glasses and a gold chain, with fake money all around him, while Hamilton’s other furry friend, Coco, joins in the birthday fun with a cute pink hat.
Lewis Hamilton hopped on Twitter to commemorate the special day of his bulldog, Roscoe (on the left). The photo also features Hamilton’s second dog, Coco, sporting a snazzy hat in honor of Roscoe’s birthday.
The six-year-old bulldog was spotted rocking some flashy gold glasses, a thick gold chain, and was surrounded by a bunch of hundred-dollar bills for a super blinged-out look. ‘@roscoelovescoco birthday bash last night was amazing,’ he shared on Instagram.
Hamilton wasn’t the only one using social media to share love for the bulldog’s birthday, though. Trainer Kirsten McMillan also shared a photo of Roscoe with the caption: ‘Six years ago today, a star was born.’
A huge dog enthusiast, Formula 1 driver Hamilton frequently shares pictures of his furry friends on his social media platforms. In addition to snaps of Roscoe enjoying a swim in the ocean, the 33-year-old British athlete previously joked that his dog makes £560 per day as a model.
Hamilton has the opportunity to clinch his fifth F1 championship this Sunday at the Mexican GP with a seventh place finish.
Upon his arrival in Mexico on Thursday, the Mercedes driver took time to interact with his fans and graciously signed autographs. During an interview, he shared some exciting news about his beloved bulldog, Roscoe, who has now joined a modelling agency. Roscoe will be participating in auditions alongside other bulldogs for various products, with a handsome daily pay of $700 and plenty of treats to enjoy. Hamilton’s focus, however, remains on the upcoming Mexican Grand Prix at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, where he aims to secure his fifth Formula 1 world title. Despite a significant 70-point lead over his closest competitor, Sebastian Vettel, the Stevenage-born racer remains determined to perform well and potentially clinch the championship with two races still remaining.
