Whether it's a good surprise or bad one, who have been the surprise team of the season? Not including Ferrari, Mclaren or Red Bull in this!
Lotus:
Signed Raikkonen on and everyone thought here goes, Raikkonen back in it for the money again. But to my surprise Lotus have performed miles better than i thought they'd ever do this season. Not only are they just 1 point behind Mclaren in the constructors championship, but above Ferrari aswell! Also Grosjean has probably been the standout performer of the season IMHO opinion. If he's this good now and can cut out the mistakes for the rest of the season i smell a win not only for Raikkonen but him aswell.
Sauber:
My god, haven't Sauber been brilliant this season in some races. Perez's second in Malaysia was the highlight of the season for me nothing will beat it. Also the Swiss outfit have been a breathe of fresh-air this season. Plus they've also had another podium this season in Canada.
Williams:
Above Force India in the championship who would have thought that after last season? Plus a win thanks to Maldonado's brilliant drive in Spain. However ironically he's not done that much since that race and quietly under the shadow of Maldonado's win it's Senna whose been bringing home the points. They may not be spectacular points but still points are points in my view.
Mercedes:
Have Mercedes been the disappointment of the season? After a brilliant 2 row start in Australia and a win in China things seem to have headed south. Rosbergs struggling to bring big points home and bar Schumacher's podium in Valencia they've not really threatened to do much really. TB fair Schumachers had a chunk of bad luck this season but still whats happened to Rosberg?
Force India:
Well after so much promise last season, Force India have gone backwards to my surprise. I had fully expected them to be challenging for a podium or two this season but have been beaten by both Williams and Sauber to that. Nico Hulkenberg has started to show some promise in his racing but Paul Di Resta should be doing a bit better than what he is at this current moment.
So which team has been your surprise team of the season so far?
