The 50 Formula One Twitter Accounts You Should Follow
In order to prepare for the Austin F1 race this weekend, we recommended that you log onto Twitter and start following some teams and journalists in order to get all the behind the scenes info.
And while it is a fun thing to discover on your own, sometimes a lot of recommendations are a big help. Well, commenter iceman has come to the rescue with an awesome list of who to follow to stay up to date on F1 coverage. His comprehensive list can be found here, but in the interest of brevity, we've broken it down to our picks for the 50 best follows for a race weekend.
All of our favorites are listed below. If any of them catch your fancy, just click the follow link on the embedded tweets. Are we missing someone? Put a link to their Twitter page in Kinja below.
Enjoy!
