Recently, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton found himself caught in a muddle. He had posted a picture of himself with his dog, Roscoe, on Instagram. Funnily enough, the Mercedes driver tagged fellow Brit George Russell in the picture instead of his dog.
Many had thought his account had got hacked, or it was accidental from Lewis’ side. But the Mercedes driver revealed the truth to media at the Dutch Grand Prix to clear the situation.
