Most disappointing team of the first two rounds
As per most surprising thread, who do you guys think has been most disappointing so far?
Candidates for me must be Australia and Brazil:
Australia - qualified poorly at Zandvoort, although Briscoe showed his class by getting up to the podium in the feature. Problem 1: getting a good set up in time for qualifying. Then at Brno they were awful all weekend. Problem 2: getting their driver lineup finally sorted. Briscoe is not going to be available for Beijing either due to a Champcar clash, surely Australia can produce someone else capable? I guess being paid to race V8's will always come before paying or earning nothing to drive in A1.
Brazil - So competitive last season, and with pre-season talk of Bruno Senna driving it seemed the same would be possible this year. However they are stuck with Tuka Rocha who seems very mediocre, and at Brno the car seemed to be handling like a pig. One must wonder why when they are engineered by the same crew as the Czech Republic, who should know how to set a car up for Brno, and Enge didn't seem to have the same problems.
I won't put Pakistan as most disappointing as nothing can be expected of Nur Ali anyway. And Singapore obviously need Christian Murchison otherwise they won't be much better.
