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?
Jenny
6th September 2009, 14:16
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
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…)
Ubaid Parkar
6th September 2009, 20:45
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…

Just noticed something odd Keith, @Forza_Felipe appears to be active again and the profile now says that its Massa’s personal account. Might be worth looking in to.
Keith Collantine (@keithcollantine)
31st October 2010, 8:28
It’s an odd one because as I understand it was set up for him while he was in hospital to update people on his progress, so it was given ‘verified’ status, but he didn’t use it after he left hospital. Whether it’s now him posting on it I don’t know but the fact his background image appears to by copy-pasted from the “F1 2010” computer game leaves me suspicious. One to keep an eye on.
Kate
31st October 2010, 9:57
Yeah, thats what confused me too because it doesn’t look very convincing ,but if its not him then I’m not sure who it could be, given that the account was set up by friends.

Not at present, could potentially do one in the future.
But to be honest most teams and drivers just seem to use Facebook as an extension of the websites and post pretty much the same content on there. In my experience, you get far more immediate and original material from them on Twitter.
