Lewis Hamilton<\/a> has been showered with messages of support from the Formula 1 paddock after he confirmed the passing of his dog, Roscoe.<\/p>\n

The British driver announced Roscoe’s passing earlier today in a heartfelt tribute to his beloved bulldog. “After four days on life support, fighting with every bit of strength he had, I had to make the hardest decision of my life and say goodbye to Roscoe,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, his fellow Formula 1 drivers were quick to send messages of support.\u00a0<\/p>\n

George Russell<\/a> responded: “I\u2019m so sorry for your loss mate,” as Hamilton’s team-mate Charles Leclerc<\/a> simply sent a heart. Pierre Gasly<\/a>, owner of his dog, Simba, added: “So sorry for your loss.”<\/p>\n

Roscoe was a fan-favourite, and often frequented the F1 paddock over a race weekend. Because of this, most of the drivers formed a bond with the happy little bulldog.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We are all thinking of you Lewis. We will miss you Roscoe, RIP,” Esteban Ocon<\/a> posted.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t just drivers who sent their support to Hamilton. Mercedes<\/a>, the second home of Roscoe since he was adopted by the driver in 2013, also sent a message.<\/p>\n

“Our thoughts are with you, Lewis. Roscoe brought so much joy to those who met him and he’ll always be a part of our family.”<\/p>\n

The seven-time champion’s current team, Ferrari<\/a>, had the fortune of being Roscoe’s home from home this season: “So sorry for your loss, Lewis. Roscoe was an amazing dog, and he will never be forgotten.”<\/p>\n

McLaren<\/a>, the team Hamilton joined when he first climbed the ladder into the championship, added: “Our thoughts are with you, Lewis. Roscoe was a star of the paddock and will be missed.”<\/p>\n

Red Bull posted:\u00a0“Really sorry for your loss, Lewis,” as Sauber<\/a> added: “He\u2019ll be so missed in the paddock! Sorry for your loss, Lewis.”<\/p>\n

Williams<\/a>, led by James Vowles, the former strategist at Mercedes, posted: “All of our thoughts are with you Lewis. So sorry for your loss,” as Vowles added:\u00a0“My deepest condolences Lewis. Thinking of you both.”<\/p>\n

Alpine<\/a>, struggling at the bottom of the constructors’ standings, joined the messages of support: “So sorry for your loss, Lewis. We\u2019ll miss seeing Roscoe around the paddock.”<\/p>\n

F1 itself posted: “Rest in Peace Roscoe Hamilton, a true star in his own right.<\/p>\n

“Lewis Hamilton\u2019s beloved Roscoe brought smiles to the paddock and warmed the hearts of fans all over the world. Our thoughts are with Lewis during this difficult time.<\/p>\n

“Rest easy Roscoe, from paddock pup to Dogue icon, thank you for the pawprints you left on all of our hearts.”<\/p>\n

As did the FIA: “The FIA family is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Roscoe. Our thoughts are with you Lewis.”<\/p>\n

It is clear Roscoe had many fans and supporters around the paddock (and the world). The friendly, beloved dog will certainly be missed.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Hamilton has been showered with messages of support from the Formula 1 paddock after he confirmed the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178224,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[573],"tags":[64,63,817,115153,826,813,816,823,114904,37177,85],"class_list":["post-178223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-f1","tag-f1-paddock-sends-messages-of-support-to-lewis-hamilton-after-roscoes-passing","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-marina-bay-street-circuit","tag-singapore-gp","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
