Well I like Paul di Resta, he is my second favourite driver after Lewis Hamilton. Just because Paul is quiet and serious it does not mean he is unfriendly. I don't see why the drivers should have to always be smiling and joking around to be popular.

When Lewis was asked about it he replied "He's (Jenson) in a better place at the moment ..."
I find it in different countries actually ...

Another way, if you really wanted to, is to do it by the amount of Twitter followers - obviously excluding those that don't have Twitter:
797k - Jenson Button
678k - Lewis Hamilton
317k - Bruno Senna
262k - Mark Webber
124k - Sergio Perez
124k - Heikki Kovalainen
118k - Pastor Maldonaldo
113k - Nico Rosberg
85k - Narain Karthikeyan
80k - Paul di Resta
78k - Pedro de la Rosa
57k - Timo Glock
54k - Vitaly Petrov
53k - Nico Hulkenberg
25k - Kamui Kobayashi
19k - Romain Grosjean
9k - Daniel Ricciardo
8k - Jean-Eric Vergne
4k - Charles Pic
n/a - Sebastian Vettel
n/a - Fernando Alonso
n/a - Felipe Massa
n/a - Michael Schumacher
n/a - Kimi Raikkonen
No F1 driver/personality has broken 1 million followers on Twitter yet but it looks like Button will be the first person to do that. Some probably surprising high positions there, for Senna and Perez in particular. Senna isn't particularly surprising really due to the Senna heritage and support back in Brazil whereas Perez will have a lot of people in Mexico and USA following him with the race in Austin next year.
And for teams:
197k - Ferrari
152k - McLaren
102k - Mercedes
77k - Red Bull
76k - Lotus
60k - Caterham
54k - Marussia
50k - Force India
48k - Williams
32k - Sauber
31k - Toro Rosso
29k - HRT
The team list looks quite accurate, however I'm not sure Marussia would be that high in a fan survey. Caterham maybe, but not Marussia. Ferrari being top probably is a bigger reflection of the worldwide opinion rather than just UK opinion.

Ferrari forbids Alonso and Massa to have Tweeter accounts.
Censorship and though control
Those guys are losing lots of money.
Ronaldo R9 for instance had a marketing deal with Claro Telecom and openned a Twitter acc with something sort of Claro Ronaldo R9 and was rewarded by the nr. of followers.
Not to mention the money people say twitter pays key users for generating traffic.

Just remembering that on twitter you can follow multiple drivers (i do just to hear the possible info), this list is also not that important because most of the "heavy hitters" aren't part of it...
Nothing to add about the teams one, other than the follow multiple teams "problem", not many people are both Macca and Ferrari fans but they might follow both on twitter.
