Tweets of the Week - Managing expectations - Turning mowing the lawn into a circuit design exercise
Published by Christine
Naturally, many of the tweets this week have been about the ongoing tragic circumstances in Japan. Everyone within the Formula One world tweeted their thoughts and prayers to those in need, and it's actually a beautiful thing to see. However, I've purposefully chosen tweets that stay away from the subject, else we'd have ten updates all saying the same thing.
So, with that in mind, here are ten of the best tweets from the past seven days.
Week Ending: 14th March 2011
1. Ex-Williams media man Liam Clogger has set up a new press service for F1, and already he's noticing some trends.
Fastest press office in F1? Toro Rosso's release 35mins ahead of competition today, Lotus a worthy p2...
LiamCompelo
2. Heikki Kovalainen gets an early wake up call.
6.30am hotel calls me in Barcelona, anti doping control coming to visit, nice way to wake up...
Doping control done quickly no problems, I support anti doping it's good they test us, eps when racing and testing as we are not travelling
3. I'm not sure what the hot reference is about, but I like Jenson bossing around the reserve drivers.
@GaryPaffett Unbelievably hot!! now get back in the simulator!
4. Glock takes steps towards his F1 return.
One day in Barcelona visiting the Team realized watching is nothing for me!!! Now on the way to Dr Peil taking the stitches
5. One helmet on another driver? This is just designed to confuse!
This is Michael driving with my helmet for filming. I took the pic. Very weird!!! http://plixi.com/p/83272187
6. Webber says it was the dogs, but I wonder if he was actually mowing a circuit into his lawn on purpose.
Has just finished mowing the lawns,they came up great,two chicanes left by the dogs tho...
7. During a Twitter Q&A, Virgin condense the procedure for making a new car.
In 140 characters? Aero concept, weight distribution, suspension loads, temperatur management and tight packaging. It took us nine months
8. Clearly the best grandstand ever. If only F1 fans were allowed to get creative with their weekend seating.
The crowd here in Sebring are becoming more creative with their grandstands! http://twitpic.com/498vjy
9. Some praise for the Red Bull boss.
Had an interesting lunch with Christian Horner. A man who speaks a lot of sense in a sport that seems to be increasingly short on ideas.
10. What will Hamilton's next project be, eh?
Lewis to be managed by Simon Fuller. Interesting given Lewis has always said he'd like to dabble in music / film etc.
At least it's not P Diddy though. Right? Although I can see Lewis on the books of Bad Boy Entertainment.
