Hamilton's bulldog, who he adopted in 2013 and has appeared at a number of races with during his Formula One career - most recently the British Grand Prix on July 6 - died last Sunday after contracting pneumonia.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's race in Singapore, Hamilton, 40, said he had been greatly moved by the outpouring of support from his fellow drivers and teams.
