Hamilton's pet Roscoe was no less than a celebrity and had been with the Briton for over a decade. The bulldog was a close companion of the F1 star, often spotted walking into the paddock with the seven-time champion. Roscoe was diagnosed with pneumonia earlier this year in April, which required medical attention.

In late September, Hamilton put out a post revealing how his pet had contracted pneumonia once again and had been sedated for a few tests, which led to his heartbeat stopping. While the doctors were able to get the heart beating again, the bulldog was sent into a coma.

Lewis Hamilton was touched by a Lego portrait of Roscoe

Lewis Hamilton received a LEGO portrait of his bulldog Roscoe, and he shared images of the same on his Instagram account. From the front, it looked like a portrait of Roscoe, but had intricate details like Hamilton's LEGO figure in a Ferrari suit, the Ferrari garage, and even the Briton's non alcoholic tequila venture, Almave, built into it.
