F1 on Twitter
In the past 12 months, F1's presence on Twitter has grown enormously. You'll now find current F1 drivers and teams tweeting from Grand Prix, motor sport journalists and reports breaking news there first, alongside some of the most clued-up fans you're never likely to meet. The problem of course is how keep track of all this information, and more importantly, who to trust.
In order to make our own lives easier, Sidepodcast has created a number of lists that group together the people we're interested in following. Members of the lists we follow have been included in this page, so that you can follow the people we follow.
Selecting an individuals name will take you to their Twitter account, selecting the link beneath each table takes you to each list on Twitter's site. We've done our best to ensure people are who they claim to be and look out for the blue "tick" icon on this page, which symbolises that the Twitter account has been verified.
Don't forget that you can also follow Sidepodcast and Christine directly.
