Twitter is getting bigger and bigger in the world of sports. The athletes in the London Olympics generated as much drama with their tweets as they did with their performances.
Formula 1 also saw it's own fair share of twitter-related drama this year. After the Bahrain Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso took to twitter to vent his frustration from Nico Rosberg's opportunistic move. Lewis Hamilton created a major scandal by his ill-advised tweet that revealed confidential telemetry data from the Belgian Grand Prix qualifying.
So, here in Sport Pulse, we wondered - what if the F1 cars could tweet too? Here is what we imagine their Monza posts might look like:
@Grosjean’s E20 (driven by D’Ambrosio): So this is how it feels to finish a race. I’m exhausted but all my limbs are still around.
@Alonso’s F2012: Ouch, gravel, ouch. No Sebastian, I don’t want a Red Bull between my wheels!!!
@Hamilton’s MP4-27:I thought this was a race, why are there no cars around!? Jenson, Jenson, where are you?
@Perez’s C31:Do you think I might get a speeding ticket?
@Vettel’s RB8: Sebastian, you could have gotten me a new engine, instead of a new helmet! You don’t care about my feelings :(((
@Massa’s F2012: “Be careful with your tires”=”Fernando is faster than you.” I will never understand Ferrarispeak.
@Button’s MP4-27: Seriously, Jenson? Massa got you at the start! Massa! We are too old for this, I’ve had enough for today.
@Vettel’s Alternator: I wonder if Sebastian knows that I am still on strike. Well, he’ll find out soon enough.
@Raikkonen’s E20: No wins – P3 in the championship. I wonder what will happen if we actually get to WIN A RACE!
@Vettel’s Helmet: I hope Sebastian does not win, so I get to keep my spot.
