Haas & Manor
I like to look at performance from the standpoint of expectations and relativity. The Mercs are still the class of the field, but they also probably have the greatest resources (and the biggest budget). Manor had a respectable performance, but they have had several years to get out of the basement and are just now putting the pieces together, both equipment and people. Haas' performance has exceeded everyone's expectations; they obviously have a good design to start with and are executing a viable business model; Gene Haas might be new to F1, but he's not dumb! Even the euro elitist snob teams are taking a second look! Hopefully they can keep their momentum throughout the remainder of the season, now that would be a real Cinderella story!
