i think, being the the team with the best resources for the new regulatory era is what its all about

Lewis is in the driving seat, so i think its all looking good

[What's Burning?]

How come RBR is left out of those reported numbers? A GP attendance anywhere outside of Monza will show you just as many, if not more Red Bull gear that any other team regalia.

I think maybe RBR dont release certain numbers, or dont do social media having their own media outlets

edit: RBR are in there

I still see no evidence of Lewis not being more popular than a team. It would be refreshing if you could provide evidence that apart from twitter, more of everyone else follow a team more than they follow a star driver such as Lewis
Please 'scientifically' round off my statistics and take into consideration the whole F1 audience that is representative of all F1 fans

Otherwise can I assume this is just 'what you think' and therefore I should shut up because its not what you think

Are you purposely being obtuse? Because it would seem you are being argumentative just for the sake
of being argumentative!

My last attempt at humouring your "WoW! He's bigger than any team!" attitude:

Scientific data is collected from a cross-section of the population, in this case, it would be of F1 fans.
Because NOT all F1 fans ""tweet"", accumulating that data would not be as easily done as counting
the number of "twits" on a fan site. I am going to give you credit for being smart enough to know that.

As I don't have the resources, NOR would I imagine do you, to gather data from a FAIR representation
of the F1 audience, would be obscenely costly and I doubt anyone would really be bothered to do so!
Keep in mind the number of "non-official" websites, forums, Twitter/Facebook pages is limitless as are
the number of accounts fans can have. That would also make this sort of fact-gathering harder to monitor
than the RRA in F1!!

Your next argument might be that the sales racked up on driver/team merchandise may be an indication;
but, that would simply mean that everyone who follows F1 can afford to buy gear and paraphernalia.

I don't expect/want you to ""shut up""; but, I do believe it's more accurate to reference your comments
with phrases such as ""according to Twitter"" or ""considering the increase in sales in the luxury car
market"! You can always continue in your own self-serving fashion and "manipulative" the information
we have at our disposal to confirm/deny whatever it is you believe; but, don't expect me (notice I am
NOT generalizing) to buy into it, just because you said so.

And, yes, that's just what I think!

Difference of over 50 000 followers; but, I'm NOT now going to say that Alonso is bigger than Ferrari!!
That would be comparing apples and oranges!!

You think so? When I was at the Canadian GP the split was about 50% Ferrari, 30% McLaren and 20% everybody else.

Wow the Fonz tweets more than Lewis? Didn't expect that.

I'm not a TWIT, does the Following category mean the people he (Lewis/Fernando) is following?

I don't either, which is what got me thinking about this whole thing in the first place;
but, yes ""Following"" means the number of accounts that have his "Tweets" come up
on their phones, I-pads, lap-tops, desktops... yadda yadda!!

Blah blah blah blah Sagi58

I say Lewis is bigger than a team, say HRT, you say it's delusional, I give you facts and stats, you say I'm twisting facts, I give you twitter count you say most fans are not on twitter.
I ask you to bring some numbers you give blah blah blah

Lewis is more followed, more popular and more marketable than HRT, do you even say yes or no? I'm not sure, But you have no facts or stats merely blah blah blah

[sagi58]

Nor did I to be honest; but, I wanted to get a gauge of sorts to understand the information being passed on.
That's one of the inherent problems with using only "one" piece of information, it doesn't give the whole picture.

Mclaren you are kidding me!!!! when? cant have been last year because Lewis wasnt in McLaren then!! At Silverstone there was a HUGE amount of Mercedes!

Hamilton is bigger than HRT? I'm sure he'll be relieved to know that!!
IF that's all you were suggesting, then sure... I'll agree with you!!

[CookinFlat6]

Just goes to show how ignorant it is to only see what one is wanting to see all the time

Ok so you now admit Lewis is bigger than a team? You now accept the concept of a driver being bigger than a team?
We can now proceed up the grid, do you think he is bigger than Marrussia, yes or no? If not where's the rationale?

Try not to cop out please
