Five races into the F1 season, there have been plenty of pleasant surprises in store, but in the latest RacingNews365 poll, we want to know your favourite. 

Whether it be Kimi Antonelli setting two all-time records in just his third grand prix in Japan for youngest driver to set a fastest lap and lead a race, or Isack Hadjar's strong speed for Racing Bulls, some of the rookies have excelled. 

Oscar Piastri has three wins from five races and sits atop the standings for the first time, whilst Williams has scored more points (25) in five races than in six of the last seven seasons and is on course for its best campaign since 2017. 

Simply let us know in the poll below which has been your biggest positive surprise, or indeed, let us know in the comments if we've missed someone off!
