A heartbroken Lewis Hamilton is back to work in Singapore after saying goodbye to his beloved dog, Roscoe

Lewis Hamilton is back at work, in Singapore with the rest of the F1 community, taking part in practice sessions ahead of the weekend after what’s been an incredibly rough week. Not sure how I’m going to write this post without crying, but we’re going to try!

In case you missed it, Lewis’s beloved Roscoe died a few days ago. Lewis had shared prior to that Roscoe was in a coma. Eventually he decided that the best and final decision he could make for his baby was to let him go. Jacek and I made the same decision for our first beagle, Marcus, pretty much exactly ten years ago. It’s been a decade and I still remember everything about that day, vividly. As unbearably sad as it was, though, there’s never been a moment of regret. It was time, he was suffering, he was tired, and he let us know that he was ready. We miss him so much but we also know Marcus lived a king’s life.

And so did Roscoe!

Everyone who follows Formula 1 knows Roscoe. Roscoe was part of the F1 community, Roscoe was a regular in the paddock. The king of the paddock.

A king with a huge fanbase – 1.5 million on Instagram who are mourning with Roscoe’s human. Lewis addressed the outpouring of sympathy he’s received over the last week and talked about the relationship between grief and love.

Lewis elaborated on the connection between grief in love in the next part of that interview. This is a beautiful perspective and I’m not sure that I feel it every day, because it’s hard to have hope, but he’s holding onto this right now as hard as he can because he’s missing Roscoe so much – and it’s all he and we can do:

“There's a lot of negativity, wars everywhere, conflicts going on everywhere, issues in all these governments and people are struggling. There's a bigger disparity between poor and rich, there's so many problems. But through this little experience, seeing that there's a lot of empathy, there are empathetic people out there, there's a lot of love, a lot of caring people out there in the world which gives me a lot of hope for mankind, if I'm really honest.”

There’s an expression, “we don’t deserve dogs”, that I think about all the time. And it feels really true right now, because dogs are SO pure, it’s so f-cking simple for them, they can do the same sh-t every day, eat the same thing every day, walk the same route every day, and all they need is their person and it’s already a big, fulfilling life. They must look at us and ask themselves why we’re so dumb.

In other Lewis news, and this is much happier, he and Fred met Hyun Bin today! For the F1 and K-drama fans, this is the crossover we needed to soothe our hearts!
