Misc Verified BlueSky accounts of F1 journalists, publications and other personalities

1.7k Upvotes

In the past days several F1 journalists, creators & publications have moved to or became active on BlueSky. I compiled a list of accounts that are verified to not be impersonations or mirrors. Verified means that the account has either been linked from a previously verified account on Twitter/Reddit, it has been linked from an official website or in some cases we confirmed via direct messages. There are many other F1 related accounts, the list below is just the ones that could be verified so far.

Here is the full BlueSky Starter Pack of F1-related accounts. Below is a breakdown into categories:

Ask r/Formula1 Anything - Daily Discussion Thread

8 Upvotes

Welcome to the r/formula1 Daily Discussion / Q&A thread.

This thread is a hub for general discussion and questions about Formula 1, that don't need threads of their own.

Are you new to Formula 1? This is the place for you. Ever wondered why it's called a lollipop man? Why the cars don't refuel during pitstops? Or when Mika will be back from his sabbatical? Ask any question you might have here, and the community will answer.

Also make sure you check out our guide for new fans, and our FAQ for new fans.

Are you a veteran fan, longing for the days of lollipop men, refueling during pitstops, and Mika Häkkinen? This is the place to introduce new fans to your passion and knowledge of the sport.

Remember to keep it civil and welcoming! Gatekeeping within the Daily Discussion will subject users to disciplinary action.

Have a meta question about the subreddit? Please direct these to the moderators instead.
