Lewis Hamilton has wanted to dedicate a sincere thank you to Kirstin McMillian, his friend and a key figure in the lives of his dogs Roscoe and Coco.
Lewis Hamilton wanted to express a heartfelt thank you to Kirstin McMillian, his friend and a key figure in the lives of his dogs Roscoe and Coco. In a very difficult moment for the Brit, marked by the loss of Roscoe last Sunday, Hamilton wanted to highlight Kirstin’s crucial role in the care and love she has always given to his pets.
“I want you all to take a moment to thank my wonderful friend Kirstin. She raised both Roscoe and Coco and treated them like family. She looked after their health, and it’s thanks to her that Roscoe lived as long as he did,” the F1 star wrote on his social media channels.
Hamilton shared how, during race weekends when he was away chasing his historic F1 records, Kirstin took care of Roscoe with dedication and love, treating him as if he were her own. “While I was traveling, she cared for him and loved him as if he were her own. We were together when we said goodbye to Roscoe. I’m so grateful to have had her in my life and in Roscoe’s,” added the seven-time world champion.
The message closes with a personal acknowledgment: “There’s no one like you, Kirstin. Thank you.” It’s a gesture that shows how vital the relationship between Hamilton and those who cared for his dogs was during such a painful time: Roscoe and Coco weren’t just pets—they were family members, loved also by Team LH44 fans, and Hamilton wanted to publicly recognize the love and commitment of those who always protected and cared for them.
