F1 Star Lewis Hamilton Battles Grief and Competition at US Grand Prix After Dog's Passing
Lewis Hamilton Faces Emotionally Charged US Grand Prix Following Beloved Dog's Passing
This coming Sunday, Formula One sensation Lewis Hamilton is set to tackle the US Grand Prix, amid a period fraught with personal grief. The circuit veteran is mourning the loss of his cherished English bulldog, Roscoe, whose battle with a serious illness came to a tragic end in September.
Roscoe was placed into an induced coma as part of his treatment for pneumonia, with Hamilton facing the heart-wrenching decision to bid farewell to his loyal companion soon after. As Hamilton gears up to take to the track for Ferrari, he aims to uplift his spirits through a commendable performance, hoping to round off the season on a high.
Hamilton, previously aligned with Mercedes, has found the current season challenging with the Italian marque, with his highest achievement being a fourth-place finish at the British Grand Prix in July.
Express Sport delves into Hamilton’s illustrious Formula One journey, spotlighting a surprising mid-career name change and examining his substantial net worth as he continues to compete.
A Nod to Maternal Heritage in Name Change
In a tribute to his mother, Carmen, Hamilton announced a distinctive name change in 2022, a year that also saw him knighted for his services to motorsport. Present by his side during the Windsor Castle knighthood ceremony, Hamilton expressed his desire to incorporate his mother's maiden name, Larbalestier, into his own, questioning the tradition of women relinquishing their surnames upon marriage.
Hamilton's financial standing catapulted him to the top of the Sunday Times Rich List as the wealthiest active sportsman in Britain by 2025, with a net worth approaching £400 million. His transition from Mercedes to Ferrari has impressively augmented his net worth to £385 million, with a £50 million annual salary from his new team surpassing Max Verstappen's record-breaking deal with Red Bull.
Off the track, Hamilton's affluence is bolstered through endorsement deals and entrepreneurial ventures, including his streetwear brand and part-ownership of the Denver Broncos NFL team.
Coping with Loss
Hamilton disclosed that the decision to turn off Roscoe's life support was profoundly difficult. The dog's battle with pneumonia, which ultimately led to being on life support for four days, culminated in Hamilton making the heartbreaking decision to let Roscoe go.
Expressing his sorrow publicly, Hamilton reflected on the joy and love Roscoe brought into his life, acknowledging the deep pain associated with losing a beloved pet. He extends his gratitude towards the support and love shown towards Roscoe over the years, highlighting the profundity of the bond shared with him.
As Hamilton faces the track in the US Grand Prix, his drive extends beyond the pursuit of victory, serving also as a tribute to the enduring spirit of his late dog, Roscoe.
