Let's face it, the look of the car is a very important appeal to Formula One. the best looking racing cars in the world also are the pinnacle of motor racing art. Sometimes a beautiful car is created, sometimes an ugly car is born due to sponsorship an team livery decisions.
since watching formula almost every race since 1987, i think the best 5 liveries in F1 have been:
(in no particular order)
1989 Bennetton - gotta love the balance of red/blue/green/yellow
2001 Arrows - who else has made Orange and black look so good
1994 Williams - i loved the Rothmans livery... it was so good that Williams have copied it this year.
1999 Jordan - Buzzin Hornets
* all years Ferrari - they truly own the red livery
honorable mention:
1992 Williams - Mansell's car was beautiful
2000 Jaguar - totally green and beautiful
80's McLaren - loved the Malboro red'n'white
Modern McLaren - makes chrome look good
2004 Renault - i loved the mild seven/renault yellow fusion
1970's Hesketh - for putting Penthouse girls on an F1 car
the fugly awards:
2000 BAR: two liveries dont mix
modern force india: just doesnt mix:
ToyotaF1: just didnt look good, and they didnt improve on it
BAR: Lucky strike just didnt appeal to me
what is your best/worst 5 liveries of Formula 1?
