Lewis Hamilton, seven-time Formula 1 world champion, has shared the first images and videos of his new puppy, a golden retriever named Halo, during his summer holidays. Hamilton is taking this time to rest after a demanding first half of the 2026 season, which includes his first victory with Ferrari at the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona-Catalonia.
The British driver acquired little Halo through Goldiva Goldens, an animal breeder based in the United States. The transfer of the pet was confirmed by the breeder on social media, where they shared an image of the dog wearing a competition helmet.
Goldiva Goldens announced: “We are excited to send Miss Halo to Los Angeles for Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton.” Additionally, canine trainer Kirstin McMillian, a dog specialist, traveled to assist in the dog’s adjustment process.
McMillian had previously worked with Hamilton’s other dogs, including his English bulldog Roscoe, who passed away in 2025. It is still uncertain whether Halo will accompany Hamilton during the season races, but if she does, she would join Charles Leclerc’s well-known puppy, the dachshund Leo.
Images of Halo have begun circulating on social media, and Hamilton recently shared his photos on Instagram, which garnered nearly 1.7 million likes and over 20,000 shares. Goldiva Goldens commented on the post: “We are glad you are enjoying quality time with your dog. The puppy’s breath is wonderful.”
Currently, Hamilton is in second place in the drivers’ standings, 50 points behind the championship leader, Kimi Antonelli.
