F1 twitter thread, who to follow.

[nickythesaint]

Hi All,

I just reluctantly joined twitter for work reasons, but I hear its very good for up-to-date gossip on F1 races.

I found a pretty comprehensive list and added the obvious drivers/teams etc.

Any pundits you recommend?

[Shaw Tarse]

Have you added sniffpetrol ?

[Eric Mc]

Depends on who the biggest Twit in F1 is, I suppose.

I wouldn't bother with teams/drivers/etc - mostly dull marketing/promo bks.

[Castrol Craig]

unlap, autosport, f1live, radarguru, kovi is good as is mike gascoyne, tony fernandes and lotus renault renault lotus geneii.

[MrKipling43]

@grandprixdiary is worth a follow. @petebonics is an absolute F1 GENIUS. Witty, incisive, pithy and in no way at all me.

@MBrundleF1 is good and so is @sniffpetrol.

[SSCooperS]

Sniffpetrol is great. Can liven up any dull race.

Jenson Button's one seems the most natural and genuine of any, I think.

You can go to mine, see who I am following and there is a lot of F1 plus sportscars stuff on there.

You can follow me too but not just F1 on mine more of a personal one with F1 stuff, cycling, and you know same as probably 1000000 other users!

Heikki Kovalinen is a good one to follow. He gives a good insight into what the drivers get upto over a weekend and when they're not racing.

Jenson Button is good for a similar reason.

MBrundleF1 - Martin Brundle as you may guess. He answers a lot of fan questions and updates on upcoming BBC features.

Jake Humphrey - same sort of content as Martin Brundle and some behind the scenes stuff

All mentioned in the posts above are worth a view also.

Definitely Brundle - the sarcasm can be breathtaking.

Agreed. It was some what funny when @JensonButton and @jessybondgirl nicked @TheFifthDriver's
laptop.

The F1 fakes are funny on a race weekend, but some of them do post a load of waffle during the week too! There are loads but my top ones are:

@fakestefano
@thefakefia
@Fakemarkwebbah
@fakehelmutM
@fakefernando
@charlie_whiting
@fakebernie
@fakewhitmarsh (my personal favourite!)
@EmperorJean
@FakeDomenicali


Also recommend:

@pitflaps
@f1rogues
@IronicF1
@F1fanatic_co_uk

[SammyW]

A couple more worth mentioning:

@MikeGascoyne - usually tweets some interesting updates from Team Lotus throughout races

@ScarbsF1 - highly recommended for all things technical

[Wollcage]

@carcreative

[Shaw Tarse]

DC has joined twitter @therealdcf1

@ScarbsF1: best F1 twitter feed by miles. Nothing WRT the races themselves, but a downright raunchy amount of technical stuff. Utter filth. Brilliant.
