A surprise winner in Abu Dhabi brings no big surprises in the Twitter outlook, because Kimi Raikkonen does not have Twitter. So, if you are a member of the Lotus team and happen to reading, please do all you can to bring Raikkonen onto Twitter so we can see what he has to say…. if anything!

A big week for Ferrari’s drivers in the series as Fernando Alonso overtakes Jenson Button to move into the lead! It is worth noting here that Button has had Twitter for a lot longer than Alonso, Alonso and Felipe Massa only getting Twitter in March thanks to Ferrari’s Twitter stance. Massa has also hit a milestone this week, having crossed the 200,000 follower barrier.
The top five biggest increases are the same as last week, except Webber recorded a higher gain than Massa.

Lotus move up into second in the biggest increases, but considering Williams had a 7,000 follower gain in May for the Spain win, I’m surprised Lotus’ gain was not higher.
