All I ever see on my twitter feed by F1 drivers is that they are ALWAYS training or doing sponsorship promos outside of racing.
Not wanting to harp on, but Webber's Twitter seems like anything but. Other than the odd RT for a charity, it provides an interesting insight. I think his most recent was about having dinner with a young NZ driver in the UK or something.

I'd love to see Button and Hamilton stay together with McLaren for quite some time, I really don't imagine Button going over to Ferrari.

Both of them seem to get on well.

I think these are JA wishes and nothing else.
Also Button is not so stupid/crazy to be eight violin @ Ferrari.

Most likely driver to replace Massa is Perez or some other guy from Ferrari Driving Academy. Alonso would love that, fo' sure - clear #1, without any real threat from his teammate.
But Alonso needs a real number two, not some young guy, fresh from the academy. How the hell is he supposed to get backup, when he starts from the first place and his teammate from the 5th position? It doesn't work like that.

i'd like di resta to be alonso's team mate, he's getting everything done to easy for him within the ferrari team. Di resta is one of those guys that will fight and race him.

That would be a good to see!

Yeah they're like the dream team. Button and Webber would be pretty great, too.

McLaren are by far the coolest team on the grid, I feel. They let their drivers race each other, they both seem to be treated equally and you get the sense that everyone gets along. Button and Hammy seem to genuinely be friends.

unfortunately there is a chance because of that they wont win the title again next year.

Perhaps, but it makes the sport more interesting than a team like Ferarri where Massa is just Alonso's bitch and basically sucking him off every racing.


Thats true, but they could be more like red bull. take decisions when needed. When the second half of a season starts, you have to start thinking what driver your going to be supporting fully.
 
I know it's the reality of the business etc but I just don't like it at all. I wish team orders were still banned, I wish every team treated their drivers equally. It would just make the sport more fun as a spectator.

Hey you got the first half of the season to prove if your a contender, by that time a team has to make a choice who its going to back up. You simply cant think you will win the drivers championship when you have both your drivers picking points from each other.
Sure you have a bigger chance winning the constructors but not the drivers.

That's because Webber is a GOD. He doesn't need to train because he is already the best.

Only if you can't support two drivers fully at the same time ;)

Canada (Circuit Gilles Villeneuve) and Austin (Circuit of the Americas) at the top. Singapore (Marina Bay) above Sepang. Hungaroring at the bottom right with Brazil (Autodromo Carlos Pace) next to it. China (Shanghai International) in the middle with India to its right and Abu Dhabi (Yas Marina) to the right of that. Turkey to the left of Brazil and Korea to the left of that. Australia (Albert Park) to the left of Silverstone. And I think Valencia under the Nurburgring.

Some of those would be terribly uncomfortable in a pocket. I wonder of some of them can double as bottle openers.

Webber and Barrichello are the best to follow because they actually use Twitter like people usually use Twitter.

Which is weird... considering they're of more mature age than most of the field, you'd thing they'd have almost no idea on how to best use it. Perhaps I should start following Reubens as well.

Most of the best Tweeters (god I feel like a cunt for even saying that) are 30+ I find.
F1 only or in general?

I wouldn't mind following some others in motorsport (even if it isn't F1) if they're interesting enough.
