Both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc brought their dogs, Roscoe and Leo, to the Silverstone paddock at the British Grand Prix. Many fans were left wondering if the two had been able to meet up across the weekend. Now, on Instagram, the two drivers have revealed they in fact did. 

Hamilton's dog Roscoe has been a frequent visitor to the paddock since being adopted in 2013. More recently, Leclerc introduced his new family member to the world, when he announced in April he had adopted a dog, Leo. Since then, many fans have been wondering when the two would meet, given the two drivers will be racing alongside each other in 2025 when Hamilton makes the move to Ferrari. In a collaboration post shared on Instagram, the two revealed that a meet-up did indeed take place at the British Grand Prix, with Hamilton captioning the post: "Dog dads."
