Tweets of the Week - Starting to test, and wishing all the best - New names and faces join the social network ahead of the season
Published by Christine
This weekend has been a tough one on Twitter, but it also shows the medium at it's very best. News of Kubica's accident broke, and in those first few hours of unknown, Twitter was not a very nice place to be. However, as soon as facts started emerging, it was an incredible way for information to be passed along, and it showed the strength of a connected community.
This week was not all about Kubica, of course, although he continues to dominate our thoughts. These are ten of the best tweets from the last seven days.
Week Ending: 6th February 2011
1. Rosberg gets to grips with his new car round the Valencia circuit.
I felt fully at home! Unusual for a new car. Good grip in Hairpins. Now broken:( http://plixi.com/p/74010774

2. Do you get the feeling the drivers were excited to get back to work?
Lewis opens the throttle for the first time in three months and clicks on the radio: "Woooo-hoo!" Feels good, eh? http://twitpic.com/3vq0mz
3. Everybody's favourite duo were back together in Valencia, although something was different.
Just been chatting with @BSenna - very confusing without his blue hat !
4. We need a campaign for Alonso to join Twitter. You can't buy insight like this.
Fernando Alonso gave his opinion on rival cars today: "The Red Bull is the same colour as last year, and the Renault is not the same colour"
5. A new face appears on Twitter, coerced into it by a certain Anthony Davidson.

10. There were a lot of good wishes for Kubica, but this seemed one of the very best.
In '03 Kubica severely broke his arm, made a speedy recovery & won upon his 1st race back as my teammate. Do it again my friend, good luck!
