F1 Plans To Go Social

Published: Jan. 27, 2016, 6:18 p.m.

After years of ignoring social media and its power, it seems that F1 might just embrace it with a storm - a \u2018Driver of the Day\u2019 may be selected from this new media. In this week\u2019s episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Mithila and Kunal tell you how clich\xe9d such ideas are and how F1 could push the limits on social media too.

Could fans choose what colour should Lewis Hamilton dye his hair next? Or who Pastor Maldonado should crash into!

As we inch closer to the 2016 Formula 1 Season, there\u2019s good news from many quarters of the sport. Pirelli finally seem to be making sense as Renault wonder if they need any more crash tests. And we wonder if Massa\u2019s retirement plans are to turn into a social media reporter. Lastly, do you remember Robert Doornbos? He\u2019s pushing the limits of technology too, albeit in a different industry. Tune in! (Season 2016, Episode 4)
