FORMULA ONE legend Sir Lewis Hamilton issued a worrying update about his much-loved dog Roscoe after a “scary few hours”.
Hamilton’s pooch was diagnosed with pneumonia in April and has since been treated with medication – and even received acupuncture treatment, too.
And unfortunately the bulldog had to be hospitalised at a veterinary clinic.
Sir Lewis, 40, shared a photo on his Instagram story that showed Roscoe at the clinic and asked for fans’ “thoughts and prayers”.
Hamilton added the following caption: “It’s been a scary few hours, everyone please keep Roscoe in your thoughts and prayers.”
The beloved dog is looked after by animal lover and trainer Kirstin McMillan while his celebrity owner travels the world as an F1 driver.
Roscoe has been a constant companion for the seven-time world champion.
And he has even rocked up at the tracks with his owner throughout the years.
Roscoe even appeared in F1: The Movie and was named in the credits alongside it’s leading stars like Brad Pitt.
The pooch also has more than 1.3million followers on Instagram.
Hamilton has yet to score a podium for Ferrari ever since switching to the constructor from Mercedes earlier this year.
The Brit’s struggles continued over the weekend in Baku after being knocked out of qualifying in Q2.
F1 stars’ pets including driver with thirteen cats, Leclerc’s yacht-loving pooch and Hamilton’s dog Roscoe with own car
That was after a tyre strategy blunder during a chaotic qualifying which saw a record six red flags.
That was further compounded by Hamilton botching a swap order with team-mate Charles Leclerc to finish P8 in the race, which did prompt an apology from the former Mercedes star.
