Mercedes driver George Russell has got his funny social media memes for 2024 up and running after a hilarious photo shoot.

Russell endured a difficult season in 2023, finishing eighth place in the standings with just two podium finishes, and was beaten comfortably by outgoing team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

But while he struggled on the track, the 26-year-old did not disappoint off of it with some brilliant internet memes across the season, including his iconic main theme pose and his head turn to the camera at the United States Grand Prix in Austin.

Now, Russell has got the ball rolling in fine fashion for the 2024 season in an F1 photo shoot.
