Essential Twitter accounts to follow for the Pistonhead

[308mate]

Is there a list of these somewhere already? I often see interesting stuff mentioned Twitter, but it would be handy to have a definitive list of verified accounts (maybe stickied) as a reference guide.

Searching via Twitter is fine, if you know who has an account! Or which bloody account is the genuine article (try searching Lewis Hamilton!).

I follow the following:

PistonHeads
MajorGav - interesting car related tweets and blogs, found via a post he made on PH
TheFifthDriver - McLaren
The_Real_JB - Jenson Button
fakemaxmosley - funny fake witterings, probably make more sense than the real mosley though !
fakebernie - as above
jakehumphreyf1 - interesting insight into the life of an F1 presenter

Good shout, I'd forgotten about that.

Thanks chaps.

My favourite is @Alex__Briggs (2 underscores), Valentino Rossi's mechanic. Lots of interesting insights into their race weekends, as well as the interminable updates about his bathroom renovation.
