Not everyone wants/manages to follow F1 drivers, teams and personalities on Twitter: it takes time and there is plenty of people to check on.

In this thread, we can simply post some tweets and/or pictures that we'll find there, related to F1 (and extended racing series).

The purpose here is to show interesting or funny stuff. Obviously, when a more important piece of information appears on Twitter, it will naturally go into bigger thematic threads.

I'll update the first post with interesting stuff if needed.

Best Album of all Time? I was at Glastonbury when Kanye told us he was the Greatest Rock Star of all time. He ended up banging his head, swearing at stage assistants, did a random and very **** version of a Queen classic and in general, made a tit of himself. I guess Lewis missed that though!

Making a tit of yourself and getting away with it is the new shtick. Social media loves them!

[Marklar]

Thats a smart way to talk about non-racing topics on the racing forum ;)

[jonpollak]

'Smart' or otherwise...

This music fan feels It needs to be said HERE and not in that pseudo-intelectual circle jerk known as the Pillock Club.

 

And here presto ..There was a topic created already for it.

[GoldenColt]

Thats a smart way to rant about Lewis Hamilton despite driver threads being banned ;)

 

FIFY.

Ha...Is that the unabashed truth there GoldenC ?

and this supposed 'rant' was not so much about the driver as it was about the subject.

 

Anyway....On to a more entertaining tweet now.

Useful product for travelling team staff who are away too long from their spouses. There's your F1 relevance. :-)

Funny. I was about to look for info on Robert Doornbos. Been burning a load of old race DVDs onto hard drive and completely forgot he existed. I came across a race where he mocked Bourdais on the podium with a grumpy face.

Seems he has fallen far.

Taki has a great sense of humor, he had some good ones about McLaren-Honda's woes last season, like this:

Or this, about the VW scandal:

He didn't like the double points thing either:

And a lot of self-deprecating humor lke this:

He's a proper clown, he knows what he's doing, western people sort of appreciate "weird Japanese" and he's playing that to get attention.

 

Also what he's talking in Japanese language is utter drivel, he has no depth. What's more, almost all of his F1/motorsport things and stories are ripoff from English or western sourced info, just passing someone else's story from left to right and pretending "insider". Most Japanese people dont understand English hence dont look out much, mostly relies on translated info, plus unfortunately general public tend to jump on sth mean, therefore tend to be drawn to sth "easy" and "entertaining" like that, so he's taking advantage of language barrier and people's naivety. It's one form of poverty business to exploit people's ignorance and illiteracy.

 

I understand those things may not be visible and transferred to non-Japanese tho, but he's quite typical case of "hero of SNS (in negative way of course)". He's got some money, got some business, seems some talent on it, which is good, good on him, but as a info curator or whatever online personality I consider him as a taint.

 But I'm told Kanye is a genius.....?  These guys Dunning and Kruger told me on Facebook, it must be true.  Or is this also Obama's fault?

[chipmcdonald]

Making a tit of yourself and getting away with it is the new shtick. Social media loves them!

 

 

 So that's why my posts were deleted from B.o.B.'s Twitter feed for daring to call him out on the Earth not being flat?  Stupid is the new cool?  Ok.  Great.

 

 

 Lewis is ok on Twitter, he's fairly candid about showing his new car, some exotic location he's hanging out at, his dogs.  Alonso as well.  Most of the teams, though, seem to like to regurgitate fluff as if it's worth the bother.

 

 Craig Scarborough's Tweets are the best, great technical pictures and anecdotes.  On Facebook there is more visual content with the classic F1 groups.

Nico Rosberg ‏@nico_rosberg

finally received the 2014 pole position trophy from Bernie. #betterlatethannever

#F1

 

[Kristian]

So basically Bernie gave it to him to pass onto Hamilton for 2015? 

[Marklar]

Hamilton got his already at the FIA gala in december, so I guess they get every year a new one.

 

I find it kinda ironic that Rosberg and diCaprio got their long overdue trophies basically on the same day. This can't be coincidence
