Roscoe enjoyed his time in Silverstone as he strolled across the paddock, gathering attention around the Mercedes garage and the media. More recently, Hamilton was enjoying his time playing with his dog ahead of the race in Austria. Well, unfortunately, the bulldog did not want to follow the orders from his owner and the seven-time world champion.

Hamilton ordered Roscoe to roll around the ground, but the dog didn’t move. Roscoe’s eyes, however, were on the frisbee and, as the Mercedes man sprung it away, Roscoe rushed to collect it.

Lewis was also feeling the heat, as the bulldog was giving him a hard time. “I might give myself a black eye,” Hamilton joked.

The bulldog was also seen playing with Mick Schumacher in the British GP. A tug-of-war between the dog and the Haas driver for the same frisbee caught the attention of the fans. Furthermore, a Roscoe cam was set up in Silverstone as fans witnessed the dog travel all across the paddock.

This picture of Roscoe with Bono in the Mercedes garage blew up on Twitter. One could say the dog is Hamilton’s lucky charm, as he ended up on the podium once again on his home turf. He will hope to repeat his heroics in the Red Bull Ring.

Hamilton will look to continue his fine form in Styria. This week will witness the qualifying on Friday and a sprint race on Saturday. The Mercedes driver will look to make the most of both sessions. Can Hamilton carry on his momentum during the Austrian GP?
