Lewis Hamilton Overwhelmed by Support from Fans in Singapore After Loss of Beloved Dog Roscoe
Lewis Hamilton Reflects on Support Following Dog Roscoe’s Passing
Lewis Hamilton, the celebrated Formula 1 driver, has expressed deep gratitude for the outpouring of support following the death of his beloved dog, Roscoe. The emotional announcement came after Hamilton chose to forgo a tyre test event with his Ferrari team to be by Roscoe’s side during his final moments. Roscoe passed away in Hamilton’s arms earlier this week, following a brief illness that led to the dog being placed in a coma.
Hamilton’s bond with Roscoe, whom he adopted in 2013 alongside another bulldog named Coco, who passed away in 2020, has profoundly impacted his life. The racing star reflected on this unique connection just days before the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix.
Support From Fans and Fellow Pet Owners
“It has been amazing to see the support from so many people around the world,” Hamilton shared. “It’s overwhelming to realize how much Roscoe helped and touched people’s lives. The kind messages I’ve received have been uplifting, especially for anyone who has experienced the pain of losing a pet.”
He emphasized that the grief he feels is a testament to the love he had for Roscoe, adding, “I read somewhere that grief is the last act of love, and I’m definitely feeling that.”
Understanding Grief and Moving Forward
Hamilton is not alone in his loss; he revealed that his mother recently lost her dog as well. He advised others facing similar heartbreak to maintain a positive mindset during tough times: “I remind myself that each day will get a bit better, just to cultivate a positive mental attitude through this tough phase.”
Reflecting on his surroundings, Hamilton noted the widespread negativity in the world but found hope in the empathy and love he has experienced during this difficult time. “Through this journey, I’ve recognized a lot of caring people, which gives me hope for mankind. That’s what Roscoe has taught me.”
Hamilton’s Optimism for the Singapore Grand Prix
As Hamilton prepares for the Singapore Grand Prix, he remains hopeful about his performance despite a challenging previous weekend. After a disappointing finish in Baku, where he qualified 12th and ended in eighth place, he was reassured by his improvement in recent races.
“There’s lots of positives to take from the last race. I’m definitely feeling better in the car,” Hamilton stated. “This has been a track that’s generally favored me in the past, and I’m excited to experience the Ferrari on this circuit.”
Examining the Singapore Circuit Challenges
The Singapore race presents unique challenges that could play to Ferrari’s strengths. High traction and downforce requirements make this a favorable environment for Hamilton’s car. Leclerc’s success in securing Ferrari’s only pole position at the Hungaroring further reinforces Hamilton’s confidence.
