"Quite overwhelming, to be honest, to see just how many people
Roscoe touched around the world and really heartwarming to receive.
I've not been able to reply to everybody. "But yeah, he was the
most important thing in my life, so it was a very difficult
experience, and I know so many people in the world have gone
through it, and know what it's like to have a pet; they give you
such amazing love, and it's an amazing experience. "I'm really just
looking forward to now, just getting back in the car and doing what
I love doing here [in F1]." Getting a result for Roscoe Hamilton

of people that deserve a good result from my side: This team, the
Tifosi and the people that have been following me, and all the
people, as I said, that have been checking in and been so
supportive this past whole year, but also particularly this past
week," Hamilton replied. "I think it's in moments like that where
you really see people show up for you, and that's been, as I said,
really overwhelming to see and really well welcomed."
