F1 confirm HUGE fan favorite feature will return

The Brit had originally opted to go with something different

Originally written by Sam Cook. This version is a translation.

One of the biggest disappointments of the 2024 season so far has been the absence of George Russell's signature pose in the title montage.

The Brit's T-pose became one of the season's biggest memes right away, being photoshopped into just about every situation imaginable.

However, the 2024 introduction scenes saw a much more serious-looking Russell simply walking up to the camera with a deadpan expression, sending Mercedes' social media team - and indeed fans - into a period of mourning.

Now, it appears as though the iconic pose is back, although not in its usual pre-race slot.

Russell meme-making returns

Unfortunately for fans but perhaps not for Russell, F1 ended up using a pretty dull pose for the official title sequence, giving Mercedes' social media team a lot of work to do to market their meme king.

However, an up-to-date version of the iconic pose is now available courtesy of F1's X account, complete with the Brit's latest hairstyle.
