How to get started on Twitter

You can get your free Twitter account at www.twitter.com. You can then follow the growing number of F1 drivers, teams and other personalities on Twitter.

If you’ve found a real F1 or other motor racing person or team on Twitter, please post details in the comments and I’ll add them to the list.

Are they real?

There are many fake F1 Twitter accounts. The ones that admit they are fakers are easy to spot and often very entertaining (like fakemarkwebber and fakemaxmosley).

But there are also some people pretending to run official accounts for drivers or teams. Here is a list of several prominent false accounts identified in early 2012.

If you’ve found a real F1 or other motor racing person or team on Twitter, please post details in the comments and I’ll add them to the list.

    Keith, what about Autosport’s Jon Noble and his NobleF1?

  2. Thanks for the heads up on those, I’m now following a good chunk of them ;)

    Keith, is that the real vettel? This twitter vettel sounds to me more like a school boy.

    • Seems a bit weird to me, too. I noticed he likes using a lot of exclamation points in his tweets. Been following him already, though I’m still awaiting for a solid confirmation it’s really him. Maybe the Red Bull F1 Spy can confirm this?

      • Vettel hasn’t been verified. He’s also using a pic from his Torro Rosso days, doesn’t tally I’m afraid for me just yet, looks like a fake. Red Bull nor Sebastian Vettel have come out and said he has one, and until they do I’m taking it as a fake.

        • Victor said on 6th September 2009, 16:08

          It’s a bit odd indeed, but a set of replies to Button’s Twitter seems to indicate that it is real. Check a little lower on that page: it seems as if JB was also a bit suspicious about this as well. (JB’s profile was confirmed by Rubens and, as far as I know, the team as well…)

          • Brawn/Button/Barrichello twitter accounts are from the Brawn website, so that’s a confirmation in itself I suppose…anyways I am looking forward for some of the accounts to be “Verified” by Twitter themselves…

    • His tweets are getting odder by the tweet! Maybe he’s more excitable than we think.

    • Daniel Netto said on 8th February 2012, 18:47

      Vettel isn’t officially on twitter. Must be a fake otherwise we would of heard more about it!

  4. Oh i got the above list from official websites etc so they are all verified in my book.

    Vision racing from the IRL.

    There are tons of IRL drivers and media on Twitter. They’re all very active too!

  6. Keith Collantine (@keithcollantine) said on 6th September 2009, 19:18

    Thanks for the links guys have updated the list. Have marked the Vettel one to be confirmed. For media I’m going to stick to just listing journalists – if I put every single F1 site in there the list would quickly become enormous!

  7. TheRedLion said on 6th September 2009, 19:56

    The Massa twitter is not really his, it was made by his friends so that people could send messages of support

  8. Keith Collantine (@keithcollantine) said on 7th September 2009, 0:36

    Have removed the Vettel one which turned out not to be him. Pity.

  9. wasiF1 said on 7th September 2009, 3:04

    Hey Keith

    There is Steve Slater as (steveslaterf1) Alex Yoong as (alextoong)

  10. Nikki said on 7th September 2009, 7:19

    So the Vettel one is definitely fake? Had big suspicions, but someone has checked with the real Seb?

    • Yeah, it’s most likely fake. Got an email from the redbullracing.com saying: “…beware of some of those Twitters which claim to really be from young German drivers.”

  11. Do you know of NanoAlonso is the right one??

  12. Sasquatsch said on 9th September 2009, 10:47

    Forza_Felipe is a tribute Twitter to Felipe Massa, not his own Twitter page.
