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.
