Lewis Hamilton and his popular bulldog, Roscoe, finally reunited ahead of the Brit’s home Grand Prix in Silverstone. Roscoe, who Hamilton adopted back in 2013, has been a well-known figure in the paddock, but his appearances have been limited this season. However, after Saturday’s qualifying, the dog was spotted playing with Haas’ Mick Schumacher.

The German endured a torrid time during the qualifying session. As a result, he was ultimately knocked out of Q1 as the rain played a huge part in changing the dynamics. However, he was seemingly in a relaxed mood, as he was spotted spending time with Roscoe.

Hamilton has previously stated his close relationship with Roscoe. The seven-time world champion enjoys spending time with the bulldog, especially after Coco, his other dog tragically died in 2020.

It is fair to say the fans certainly did not expect Schumacher and Roscoe together. However, they were ecstatic after watching the German play with Hamilton’s bulldog.

Michael Schumacher, Mick’s father, is arguably one of the greatest the sport has ever seen. He has won seven titles, a record he shares with none other than Lewis Hamilton. And this fan-made a hilarious reference out of the situation.

Hamilton has won his home race a record 8 times. This is arguably the venue he is most comfortable with, as the fans will be right behind him during the race. Schumacher Jr, however, has all to play for as he is yet to score a point in F1.

While several teams have brought upgrades to Silverstone, Haas is yet to bring one. Although he enjoyed a stunning qualifying in the wet condition of Montreal, he will start only from P19 at the race.

Well, he will hope that Roscoe could prove to be his lucky charm. Will Mick Schumacher achieve his first points during the British GP? We will have to wait and watch.
