UPDATED NEWS: Lewis Hamilton’s Dog Roscoe Causes a Scene at Monaco Grand Prix—Internet Goes Wild
In an unexpected twist during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, it wasn’t just the roaring engines or tight battles on track that captured global attention—it was Roscoe, Lewis Hamilton’s beloved bulldog. Known for his chill demeanor and adorable appearances in the paddock, Roscoe became an unlikely star after causing chaos in the most glamorous race on the calendar.
According to witnesses, the incident happened early Saturday afternoon, just after final practice. As Hamilton prepared for qualifying, Roscoe—usually kept close by with his handler—somehow slipped his leash and took off down the paddock. What followed was pure comedic mayhem: mechanics diving out of the way, journalists scrambling for photos, and team personnel laughing as the four-legged celebrity sprinted through hospitality areas with surprising speed.
The scene reached peak hilarity when Roscoe briefly ran into the McLaren garage, seemingly fascinated by a tray of post-session snacks. Lando Norris was seen chuckling, while McLaren staff tried to coax him out with dog treats. Eventually, Hamilton’s trainer Angela Cullen (reportedly called in for backup) helped wrangle Roscoe back, much to the relief—and amusement—of everyone watching.
Social media erupted almost instantly. Within minutes, clips of Roscoe’s wild run trended on Twitter and TikTok, with hashtags like #RoscoeTakesMonaco and #PaddockPup flooding timelines. Fans hailed him as “Driver of the Day,” while memes poured in, comparing his sprint to overtakes on track.
Hamilton later laughed off the incident, saying, “Roscoe just wanted his moment in the spotlight. Maybe he’s faster than me this weekend!”
While the focus will return to racing on Sunday, there’s no doubt Roscoe has already stolen the show—and a few hearts—in Monaco.
