Williams have enjoyed a recent revival, but Kubica is an awesome driver, so would go for Renault to win the midfield battle!

I'd argue Mercedes were a mid-field team, too. But out of the list it has to be Renault. It may not be the past car, but Kubica has been phenomenal getting the best out of the car.
Sauber have been the most improved team of the year, I've been very impressed with them recently. De la Rosa has always been a talented driver and Kobayashi is going to be a force in the future.

MemberRenault are the best midfield team so far. The rest goes Mercedes, Williams, Sauber, Force India, Toro Rosso.
Renault have Kubica and a strong development rate, but suffer due to a weak number two driver and have an underpowered engine unit (Red Bull compensate by having more efficient aero)
Mercedes just can't get the heat into the tyres enough. It's an inherent problem from the Brawn car last year. When that is sorted, and the complicated F-duct and exhaust systems are ironed out, both Rosberg and Schumacher will fly. Shame it'll be 2011.
Williams have started to make progress but again are struggling with engine power and they're own interpretations of Red Bull's advantages.
Sauber have come good due to that massive computer BMW left behind. But, their drivers aren't up to scratch, one being to fast and rash and the other too slow.
Force India have a strong driver in Sutil but have minimal mechanical grip like last year. They may pick up again in Spa and Monza like last season but expect their worst performance in Hungary this weekend.
Toro Rosso just don't have the drivers or the development to really challenge. As long as they keep to the basics and bring the car home they'll benefit off of other teams misfortunes.
