Formula One News » Keeping Up with F1 News Posted on 19/01/2012

If you’re really into Formula One racing, then you’ll know that the internet is a great tool for keeping up-to-date with all the latest news about races, drivers, teams and gossip surrounding the sport. F1 is a fast-moving (ho-ho) sport with a lot happening within the industry surrounding it at any one time, so keeping up can be extremely difficult if you’re not on the ball or using the right tools.

If you’ve ever been curious about the best ways to keep up with F1 news, then one of the best ways to do so is to subscribe to an RSS feed. For those of you who don’t know RSS, it is essentially a way of being able to monitor anything from CNN to the Party Poker blog by providing a “feed” or list of every single article the site publishes. It also works here – we have one at the bottom. By using an RSS reader (Google and many other companies make a free reader, and many can be integrated into your phone or even your email client), you can filter news from many different sources, from here to Ferrari, right into the same window, creating your own personal feed of information and news.

If you’re slightly more 2011 and love to keep in touch via more modern means, Twitter is a great source of news. By allowing people to post short, 140-characters-or-less updates (this is called “microblogging”), sites, teams, drivers and fans can now contribute to the overall discussion as easily as simply tweeting and getting involved in conversations before, during or after major F1 events, or just during down-time.

That’s just two of the ways to stay on top of things – other methods include email newsletters, magazines, television shows and Facebook. It’s a case of working with what you’re most comfortable and happy with, so give everything a try and see how it goes!
