Lewis Hamilton<\/a> has shared a health update on his beloved dog Roscoe after the bulldog was hospitalised.<\/p>\n

After asking fans to send their prayers for Roscoe on an Instagram story, the British driver has now shared an update, explaining that 12-year-old Roscoe had caught pneumonia again after overcoming it earlier this year.<\/p>\n

“Please keep Roscoe in your thoughts. I want to keep you all updated. Roscoe caught pneumonia again and was struggling to breathe,” Hamilton wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n

“He was admitted into hospital and sedated to calm him while they did checks on him and during the process his heart stopped. They managed to get a heartbeat back and now he\u2019s in a coma.<\/p>\n

“We don\u2019t know whether he will wake from this. Tomorrow we\u2019ll try to wake him up. I\u2019m by his side and want to thank you all for your prayers and support.”<\/p>\n

This comes as Hamilton was due to complete Friday’s Pirelli 2026 tyre testing at Mugello, but reserve driver Zhou Guanyu<\/a> has stepped in, who is now carrying out the test alongside Charles Leclerc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hamilton joined Ferrari<\/a> at the start of the 2025 season after a 12-year stint with Mercedes<\/a>, which resulted in six of his seven championships. Since joining the Maranello outfit, the Briton has worked to adapt to the new team and power unit.<\/p>\n

After finishing the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in eighth place, Hamilton revealed that he was feeling more comfortable with the SF-25 F1 car.<\/p>\n

“I think there\u2019s still some improvements to make in terms of how aggressive I can be,” he said. “The car has been quite snappy, so still not 100% confident under braking when I\u2019m attacking on the brakes.<\/p>\n

“In the last race, I was, but in this race, didn\u2019t feel it so much with the set-up that we ended up having.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s kind of crazy, because we\u2019ve been progressing yet we\u2019ve not had results, really in the last few races. But there\u2019s not like no progress so I think we\u2019re able to do a good weekend and a good result.”<\/p>\n
