Twitter has been in the F1 headlines recently, largely thanks to the indiscretions of Lewis Hamilton.
The F1 population on Twitter continues to swell, with almost every driver now using it.
On top of that there are dozens of team members from senior technical personnel to mechanics, the massed ranks of F1 media and growing numbers of former drivers and even a few ex-world champions.
F1 Fanatic maintains a list of genuine Twitter accounts for you to follow. Over 100 new accounts have been added in the most recent update. Find them all here:

F1 drivers on Twitter
All bar three of the current F1 drivers grid can be found on Twitter. Sebastian Vettel, Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen are the only ones staying off it, for now at least.
The other three world champions currently racing are on Twitter. Fernando Alonso is a fairly recent arrival:
Year 2006, we arrived at Monza leaders, broken car in q3, penalties, start 10th, stop in the 1st chicane, engine (cont) tl.gd/j7cvtv

Alonso has already passed the one million follower mark and is on course to overtake Jenson Button as the most popular F1 driver on Twitter.
Among the other new additions to the list is HRT's Ma Qing Hua, who recently became the first Chinese driver to participate in an F1 weekend:
I'm so happy to drive the F112 for a 2nd time in a row! It will be very exciting to drive in Singapore !! fb.me/17I1p7I18 @hrtf1team

Team members
Teams have also been quick to take up Twitter and growing numbers of team members are appearing on there as well. Here are a few of the recent additions:

@easonf1 We know it very well but to get healthy teams you need to reduce costs, don't you think?
