Lewis Hamilton shares a Lego portrait of his late dog Roscoe on Instagram—and elicits emotional reactions
Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton has moved his fans to tears with a very special post. The seven-time world champion shared a stunning Lego portrait of his late dog Roscoe on Instagram, while also expressing his gratitude for the enormous outpouring of sympathy from around the world.
The artwork was created by two fans and depicts Roscoe in impressive detail. The three-dimensional Lego mosaic even includes loving details such as a figure in a Ferrari racing suit, a Formula 1 car, bottles of Hamilton’s Almave brand, and miniatures reminiscent of the outfit Hamilton wore at the 2024 Met Gala. “This Lego portrait of Roscoe really touched me,” Hamilton wrote on Instagram. “The attention to detail is incredible, and I can’t imagine how long it took. Thank you to Karen and Ilona for making this for me and sending it to me.”
At the end of September 2025, Hamilton announced the death of his beloved bulldog. Roscoe had been hospitalized after suffering another bout of pneumonia and was temporarily on life support. The dog died shortly before the Singapore Grand Prix, with Hamilton at his side until the very end. Roscoe was not only a real celebrity in the Formula 1 paddock. With 1.5 million Instagram followers and his own modeling career, he had long been considered a star on four paws. After the sad news, social media was flooded with expressions of condolence. And now the Lego artwork is providing the next emotional moment. Hamilton took the opportunity to thank his fans: “I want to thank you all for your incredible support. It still hurts a lot and probably always will, but your love helps me enormously. Many of you have lost pets yourselves. I know Roscoe has many friends out there. He is surrounded by love and good vibes, just as he always was.”
Lego itself also responded to the photo, saying, “A fitting memorial.” Another fan wrote, “Whoever gave you this is an absolute legend. Roscoe will never be forgotten.”
Hamilton’s brand Almave simply commented, “This is a masterpiece.”
