It is not very often that fans get an insight into one of Hamilton’s cars. The Briton’s Cobra is one of the rarest pieces in his collection, valued at around £4m ($4.9m). This is a stunning classic with unmatched originality.

In a new video, we spotted the driver cruising around in this famed car. He, alongside Roscoe, took it out for a spin as the insides of the car were revealed. The car, though old, looks rather stunning with a black lining across the front. This Shelby has a metal rod for the parking brake like the cars from the old days.

Lewis Hamilton talks about his relationship with Roscoe

Hamilton’s demanding job always pushes him to move around the globe very often. The Briton might have returned to Britain for his home Grand Prix, but he will move on to the next location just as quickly. This obviously forces him to spend less time with his beloved dog.

However, the driver always makes it up to Roscoe by spending ample time with him. In several stories and posts, we see the 37-year-old push the dog around on skateboards, etc. Further, many photos on Hamilton’s profile and from Roscoe’s own Instagram account prove the duo’s bond.

The driver has previously revealed, “I try to take him to as many as possible, because Roscoe’s getting old. And I don’t know how long I’ll have him around. So, I’m trying to keep him with me everywhere.” And has also confessed, “He’s my best friend.”
