Lewis Hamilton changes Instagram profile picture as old favourite replaced
The official unveiling of Lewis Hamilton’s new Ferrari racesuit and helmet for the 2026 season led to the removal of an old fan favorite picture on Instagram.
Hamilton, a seven-time F1 world champion, is preparing for the upcoming season and is hoping for better machinery compared to his SF-25 car in 2025.
The SF-25 failed to secure a win or a podium finish in Hamilton’s hands, though his teammate Charles Leclerc managed to claim seven podiums.
With new F1 regulations in place and Hamilton refreshed after a winter break, fans are optimistic about his performance in 2026, aiming for a return to winning form.
Despite some fans’ concerns about the bright blue HP logo on the new Ferrari racesuits, Hamilton’s all-yellow helmet design for 2026 also debuted during the unveiling.
Following the unveiling, Hamilton updated his Instagram profile picture to showcase his latest helmet design, replacing the previous photo of his late British bulldog, Roscoe, who passed away last year at the age of 12.
The emotional tribute to Roscoe during a race in Singapore highlighted the impact of having a dog in one’s life, further connecting Hamilton with his fans and followers on social media.
