Lewis Hamilton‘s affection for his pet bulldog, Roscoe, is no secret. The seven-time world champion often shares adorable pictures and updates about his furry companion on social media. With over 750,000 followers on Instagram, Roscoe has become a celebrity in his own right, even earning $700 per day from modeling gigs. This year, at the F1 British Grand Prix in Silverstone, Roscoe stole the show as he accompanied Hamilton through the paddock and relaxed in the Mercedes’ hospitality area. In a surprising turn of events, a video from nearly 2017 has resurfaced on Twitter, causing a stir among fans.

As Roscoe accompanies Verstappen like a loyal bodyguard, barking at anyone who dares to approach, fans couldn’t resist sharing their amusing reactions to this unexpected friendship. Could Roscoe be an undercover spy of Mercedes, tasked with gathering insider information from the rival camp?
