Best liveried F1 cars of all time
I have no doubt that this is a subject that has come up many times over the years but i thought why not start a new thread anyway. One of my personal faves has always been the RAM 03, what's not to like

Definitely the JPS Lotus cars.
Also the 1999 Minardi was pretty nice. |

There are many, but the McLaren Honda takes some beating ...

I always loved the simplicity of the Ensigns Unipart livery.

While the JPS colours are timeless there was something about the Essex livery that worked as well in my opinion.

I have a strange fondness for the late 2000s orange testing livery that McLaren ran. Hoping they bring it back... But the Marlboro cars were iconic.

I always liked the Kelemata sponsored Osellas but the FA1E would have to be my favourite, loved the shape of that car, definitely in my all time top three.

'Of all time' tends to give a gravitas which the the thread lacks a bit as the vast majority of liveries mentioned are in last 20-30 years . If I can stretch 'livery ' to mean 'colour' (and not sponsor ads) and F1 to mean Grand Prix then the French Racing Blue of a Type 35 Bugatti is near unimprovable - gorgeous colour on gorgeous car . Similarly the Ferrari 312/68 - with rosso corsa , cavallino rampante on the flanks and bunch of bananas white exhaust is arrestingly lovely .
More recent stuff - TBH most make a total hash of it and don't integrate the colours with the shape - Lotus 72 JPS did it well , most Marlboro McLarens did so too but the only livery that really stands out as being a cut above the rest is the stunning Peter Stevens work on Parmalat Brabhams like the BT52 . Most contemporary F1 cars are a right dogs dinner - good in close up and utterly awful at range - like when you see them on the track... |

I do not have many modern era favousrites, too much aero and detail spoiling the lines, though Newey at McLaren did a decent job of making that all look quite nice, or the pain folk of hiding it!!
For some reason I liked the Super Aguri and Midland colours!! No idea why |

For me cars in the 80s all looked great and muscular. It's my aesthetic as to what F1 cars should look like. But I've a few 90s one's I liked as well. I won't repost the JPS Lotus and the Seven Up Jordan as we are all familiar with what they look like. The ill-fated 94 Simtek with the late Ratzenberger at the wheel. The '88 Ligier The 86 Ferrari The 93 McLaren Ford The 76 Martini Brabham The 1995 Pacific |
