Mercedes driver George Russell has said that he's 'going to start practising' some rather unusual poses for the 2024 Formula 1 opening credits, after some suggestions were posted on TikTok by one particular Mercedes fan.

The 25-year-old recently said that he was nervous for the shooting of the 2024 intro scenes due to his hilariously memorable pose in last year's edition, which he didn't feel as though he could match.

However, one Mercedes fan has given him a few ideas, each rather outrageous but would make him once again the meme king ahead of the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
