Because LH has nothing good to say on Twitter. Most other drivers post good stuff. He only posts things that get him in trouble or something horribly wet about how he loves his fans.

What good stuff do other drivers post exactly? Button posts chat about Triathlons, Heiki Golf and Finland,Fernando uses it as a daily diary which i kind of like.

Its says just as much about Button as it does Lewis IMO that Button would not follow his own team mate. I find that odd to be honest.

Why , he sees him every other weekend, and maybe that's enough for Jenson.

I follow Button, Alonso and Webber. Alonso posts good photos of his travels and Webber has an honest view on most things which I like. Maybe Button's isn't so great but he posts photos and chats to people, it's alright.

Read my post above - I quoted JB saying he never followed him in the first instance.

Why would you follow someone you see at work most days? Just talk to them!

Additionally, why would you tweet (anything controversial) about a work colleague? Just talk to them!

What an odd post, i follow everyone that i see at work everyday. Does that mean that Jenson shouldnt follow his Girlfriend that he lives with as he see's her most days or Gary Paffet or some of his Mclaren crew??

well he's made himself look like a total bellend this time.

Sheesh, I don't dislike the guy but it's hard to warm to him.

As for button not following him in the first place, it's a bizarre statement to say that's odd.

Why is it Bizarre? Why follow other drivers including his "New Team Mate" Perez who posts 90% of the time in Mexican or Spanish and not Lewis? For me, there lies an issue.

Jenson doesn't follow Lewis because he's not into gansta rap or Louis Vuitton and if he wants to see the teams technical data he can easily ask his engineers.

Because like Hamilton, you're reading far more into this than is probably the case.

No more odd than assuming something amiss in the LH-JB relationship because JB doesn't follow LH.

I guess it depends whether the people you follow tweet interesting stuff or not. I follow people I find interesting, not people I feel I should follow. Does LH tweet interesting stuff? Would it be of interest to JB? I guess not as JB doesn't follow him.

People read far too much into who follows who on Twitter, who is someone's "friend" on Facebook, who "likes" someone on Facebook. Political rubbish that more often makes a fool out of those who worry about it than is useful (LH's latest gaff a case in point).

I see, i guess following his new team mate Perez that posts in Spanish/Mexican must be of some interest to Jenson.

If he follows him, I guess so.

I saw a tweet from JB welcoming SP to McLaren. No idea if JB follows SP.

People use Twitter for different reasons, some keeping in contact with friends, commercial reasons or just getting news feeds. That's of course if they are doing themselves and not using a 3rd party which is quite common for commercial feeds.

BTW, Mark Webber doesn't follow any of the current F1 drivers and he is very good friends with some.
