Is this a wind-up? Hamilton's Twitter Feed?

No, he isn't. Whilst I'm sure some celebs do update twitter themselves, for many, many others this forms part of a wider publicity/marketing strategy that they don't have the time or inclination to actually own themselves.

He said ALL not some so he is infact wrong.

Dont real celeb accounts usually have "Verified account" with a star logo on their twitter pages? Im not 100%, although the high number of followers usually gives it away

No verified account badge = fake.

can't imagine why a celeb would bother with twitter. it's a good marketing tool when used well and that's about it. cant imagine that a celeb would not have anything better to do then tweet

Something better to do? Twitters Apps are on pretty much all new phones. It would take around 15 seconds to write a message on twitter.

Because its a good way to keep their fans up to date? its a good tool if you have a use for it. However unfortunatly there is a few people out there who use it to tell the world what flavour of crisps they are eating.

For example, a music producer/dj etc could use it to keep fans up to date on new releases, when they are playing and where

Do you realise how the celeb world works? Its all about publicity and being in the publics eye. Twitter allows this very easily.
Just look at the articles on news sites that are based off of a celebs tweet etc.

I have Jack Wilshere, Denilson and Fabregas on Twitter, it gives you a little bit of insight into them as people and you get to see the the odd funny thing like a bunch of them playing FIFA in the hotel or Denilson dancing on webcam.

It is real, and yes he does sound a bit retarded. But hey ho, there you go. If you think he's bad, check out 50 cent.

Back in the days of Ron neither he or Button would have even been allowed anywhere near twitter.

'Celebs' are people too. No reason for Hamilton or anyone else using Twitter, only takes seconds from their phones.

Virtually none of the motorsport personalities on Twitter are verified, and it's definitely them.

As I seem to have been ignored before, I will repeat, it is Hamilton's account but it has clearly been hacked.
