Angela Cullen joined Mercedes back in 2015 and started working as Lewis Hamilton’s performance coach. Hamilton has always been vocal about the role that she played to help keep him fit and transform him into a better athlete. As Lewis Hamilton’s venture crosses $100 million in valuation, he revealed the secret behind Roscoe’s body transformation. What is the secret? What is this transformation?

Lewis Hamilton became a vegan back in 2017. The 7X World champion then started his own vegan burger chain called neat burgers in 2019. Hamilton wanted to make vegan food more accessible to people. Along with Leonardo DiCaprio’s investment in the company, near burgers has crossed $100 Million in valuation as of 2023. With plans to open more stores, the valuation seems to only go up from here.

However, as Lewis Hamilton realized the benefits of a plant-based diet, he also shifted his “closest friend” Roscoe to the sustainable diet. The 38-year-old admitted that Roscoe, his bulldog, lost 10 pounds after he shifted to a plant-based diet but is still healthy and strong. According to the F1: Chequered Flag Podcast, Lewis Hamilton said, “He actually lost weight when I took him plant-based. He lost 10 pounds or something like that. But he’s still a unit, you know, a proper English bully.”

Nonetheless, Lewis Hamilton’s true companion is known for making an appearance as he recently did, which caught everyone’s eye. Roscoe has Brad Pitt to compete with, but it seems like Hamilton’s buddy won the challenge.

Roscoe was spotted with Lewis Hamilton entering the Silverstone paddock

Roscoe was recently spotted entering the British GP paddock with Lewis Hamilton. The Briton’s best friend was seen following him as Lewis Hamilton was seen wearing a white outfit with the British flag. Roscoe had a Grenadian Flag scarf around his neck. Later on, Roscoe was seen in the Mercedes garage with the mechanics and engineers who enjoyed his company.
