Lewis Hamilton is widely known in and outside Formula 1 for his love for animals, especially dogs. In addition to his love, Hamilton is a proud dad to a Bulldog named Roscoe. However, the seven-time world champion partook in a special Q&A session where he sat down to play with multiple dogs and answer fans’ questions. During this, Hamilton revealed a bizarre detail about his health.

The 39-year-old was surrounded by multiple dogs, around six to seven while he answered multiple questions. Hamilton was having a great time snuggling and cuddling with the dogs and also playing with them. The Briton also insisted that he would keep all of them if that was an option. However, owning Roscoe is enough as the dad-dog duo is often spotted in the paddock during race weekends.

Hence, during this Q&A session, Hamilton was answering questions and playing with the dogs as usual. However, towards the end, the former world champion revealed a shocking detail to everyone. The 38-year-old asserted that funnily enough, he was allergic to dogs. Although the exact details of his medical conditions were not revealed the allergy did not bring forth any severe conditions. Perhaps, the 39-year-old was simply trying to fool his fans.

Lewis Hamilton mentioned that it would be cool to switch jobs with Toto Wolff

In the same session, Hamilton answered some funny questions. One such question asked him about switching jobs with one team member for the rest of the day. The Briton had a clear and sure answer for this as the job for being the Team Principal is the highest role anyone could achieve in the team.

Bossing around a huge team such as Mercedes excited even the seven-time world champion. Hamilton resonated with this fact and highlighted that it would be neat to be the boss. Additionally, it would be amazing to boss everyone around in Brackley as Toto Wolff has been regarded as one of the best principals of any team in Formula 1.

I would probably say Toto, because he's the boss... Being the boss for a day would be kinda neat. Boss everyone around....

Hence, Mercedes puts behind the mediocre 2023 season and takes great learnings from that. Brackley is preparing meticulously for the following season and ensuring that no mistakes are made down the season like this time around. Hence, Wolff has also explained the ‘conventional’ approach for developing the W15 for the 2024 season.
