The return of a paddock icon – Lewis Hamilton brings Roscoe the vegan bulldog back to Silverstone for British Grand Prix | The Sun

LEWIS Hamilton has brought his vegan bulldog Roscoe back to the Silverstone paddock ahead of the British Grand Prix.

The F1's star's beloved pet was snapped following the seven-times World Champion around the paddock.



Roscoe has built up a large following and can often be spotted trotting around not far from his owner at F1 circuits.

Like Hamilton, Roscoe is vegan and has a social media following of 495,000.

The F1 legend last week shared pictures of him and Roscoe ahead of the British Grand Prix.

The weekend has so far gone well for the 37-year-old, who is still looking for his first win of the season.
