F1 Fanatic

I don’t really care about the bottom of the pack, but i’ll have a go
Lotus are a lot closer to the midfield established teams then last year, so about: 8/10 (based on teamwork, as they seem to be a lot closer due to the poor williams).
Heikki Kovalainen 7/10 (seems better with midfield teams then when he was at mclaren)
Jarno Trulli 7/10 (i respect him a lot, not just as a driver, but as a person)
Virgin seem to be still in the same place as the end of last year: 5/10
Timmo Glock 8/10 (Just for persavering with the poor car)
Jerome D’Ambrosio 7/10 (seems to have potential)
HRT are closing in on Virgin, and proving all those doubters out there wrong (well, almost): 8/10
Vitantonio Luizzi 8/10 (ssems to ber giving the team the right output
2nd Driver (dont make me spell his name!) 6/10 (Not the best driver ever)

Lotus: Full marks to Lotus from me…they are a proper racing team and have been the best of the newbies from the start. Their attitude is right, they are putting good structures in place and they are getting quicker and quicker each race. Heikki is driving as well as he ever has and really seems to be enjoying his racing at the minute. The same can’t be said of Trulli, seems like he can’t be bothered most of the time. The fight with Lotus is annoying, but I’d support them even if they were Caterham or Team AirAsia. And the car is so pretty!

Virgin: D+, could do better. The MRV02 isn’t much better than the VR01 and they don’t seem to be going anywhere. Glock doesn’t seem to be doing as good a job of driving the team forward as Kovalainen is…he needs to up his game.

HRT: I love their fighting spirit! No money, no testing, and already giving Virgin a hard time! I wish they had a solid financial package, because I’d love to see them progress the way Lotus are doing. Liuzzi is doing a solid job, but Narain is out of his depth. I wish people could put aside thier dislike of Colin Kolles, because HRT need all the support they can get.

Lotus
Has developed really well since last year, reaching the midfield on pure racing speed. When compared to the other two new teams that is really great.

HRT
Last year they were awful, not even bringing a special wing at Monza. Hopefully this year they’ll continue on improving as they have done in the last three races, passing from not qualifying to beating a Virgin.

Virgin
Last year they were usually faster than the HRTs, but few developments and little efforts have let HRT reach them, and they have lost last year’s advantage. Should be further ahead.

Order of improvement from 2010:
1. Lotus
2. HRT
3. Virgin
