• The Twitter (fake) F1 grid

  With all of the shenanigans on the track, in the stewards room, and soon to be in the courts, F1 is really getting heavy. For a lighter take on F1 there are a number of self-proclaimed 'fakes' sprouting up on Twitter.

  The current F1 grid of fakes are; Webber, Vettel, Nakajima, Button, Hamilton, Alonso, Massa, Buemi, Trulli and Glock (update 23/4/09: Raikkonen, Kubica). Each updating us with a 140 character chunk of wit every now and then. Here are a couple of my favourites;
