Hamilton and Perez get their benefits from their respective Canadian performances, with Perez recording one of the biggest increases of the week. As usual though, it is Fernando Alonso out in front. All of the five smallest increases are under one thousand followers, with both Marussia’s, Toro Rosso’s and the Force India of Nico Hulkenberg occupying the latter spots.

I did the statistics on Monday, as I usually do, but since then, McLaren have broken the 200 thousand follower barrier. As I type this, they have 200,154 followers, joining Ferrari in the over 200 thousand club. For the second time in three weeks though, it is Williams that recorded the smallest increase, recording an increase of only 326 followers since last Monday. Ouch.
Driver and Team statistics as of Monday 18th June 2012.
