Lewis Hamilton has revealed how he tries his best to be a loving parent to his 11-year-old French bulldog, Roscoe. In a recent interview, the Briton explained why it would be “selfish” of him to make Roscoe travel all around the globe for all 24 races.
During a Tommy Hilfiger interview, Hamilton was asked if he ever thinks of bringing Roscoe along with him to the paddock to attend the races. In reply, the 39-year-old said, “I do, but, it would be really selfish of me, because, firstly it’s a long trip. But my friend sends me pictures every day, so I’m checking in, and I always make sure he’s good“.
The sitter is usually someone from his long list of friends and family. Hamilton ensures he gets regular updates about Roscoe’s health via pictures.
