Only three days after starting his Twitter, Rubens Barrichello has become the new leader among Brazilian drivers in terms of numbers of followers, overtaking Nelsinho Piquet.

Rubinho has become the first Brazilian driver to reach the amazing mark of 10,000 followers, surpassing other drivers who started using the service a long ago. By the way, it is curious to note that Twitter was already popular among Brazilian Indy drivers long before F1 drivers “discovered” it.

Here you can see some of the Brazilian drivers in Twitter, the number of followers of each one (updated 26/06/09) and the date on which he posted its first text to the service (by clicking on the name of each one, you go directly to his Twitter page).

1. Rubens Barrichello - 10.049 - 23/06/09
2. Nelsinho Piquet - 9.889 - 05/06/09
3. Toni Kanaan - 6.279 - 23/04/09
4. Helio Castro Neves - 3.489 - 04/05/09
5. Bruno Senna - 2.719 - 11/06/09
6. Mario Moraes - 1.791 - 26/03/09
7. Lucas di Grassi - 646 - 14/04/09

We miss Felipe Massa in the list. Where are you, Felipe? Buy an iPhone soon!
