What is your favorite livery from the current crop of F1 teams?

Jordi · 25 Jan 2003, 01:17 (Ref:485165)

McLaren's overall.

I like also the Sauber's details and the BAR simplicity (until 2003)

Korr · 25 Jan 2003, 01:20 (Ref:485167)

I like the approach that McLaren takes on tobacco ad banned tracks...it puts the name of the driver in place of West ads. Ferrari simply removes the ads and leaves ugly blotches of white in place.

My least favorite is that of Williams...ugh, boring and uninspired.

Jukebox · 25 Jan 2003, 01:26 (Ref:485171)

Without a doubt Ferrari....menacing RED

ASCII Man · 25 Jan 2003, 01:31 (Ref:485176)

None of the above, i liked the old benetton colours from the 80's the most.
But if i had to choose then i would pick the McLaren livery.

Mr V · 25 Jan 2003, 02:10 (Ref:485198)

The Williams for me

I wonder how many of us would be able to tell the cars apart if they were all done up in solid white?

I would spot 4 of em.

2 Ferraris in the front, 2 Minardis in the back

Wrex · 25 Jan 2003, 02:31 (Ref:485208)

I think the choice of what is put in place would be decided by the sponsors.

Good point Slicktoast, jet black would be better though. Then bring back Murry walker to commentate.

We could...only if the drivers were to stick their initials on top of their helmets

Mattracer · 25 Jan 2003, 05:20 (Ref:485274)

None of the above. My favourite was the JPS Lotus from '85,'86. That was a pretty car.

Red · 25 Jan 2003, 07:59 (Ref:485324)

I voted Ferrari (not a single subjective reason, of course

). But the Mac's is really great too.

NiceGuyEddie · 25 Jan 2003, 13:49 (Ref:485525)

I liked the 1991 7Up Jordan and the 1996 gold Benson & Hedges Jordan. From this lineup its gotta be tha Jag.

Ferrari's havent been crimson-red for ages. They're pretty much Marlboro-orange.

**Asp** · 25 Jan 2003, 14:09 (Ref:485537)

I say the Jag - It's the orginal racing colour of the country - and that's the important thing in the design. Ferrari have to be thankful that Marloboro colour is red, otherwise they may have to lose Italian Racing Red.

Sharky · 25 Jan 2003, 14:09 (Ref:485538)

Jaguar. Though I might say that my favourite liveries were the Arrows black and orange and the dark blue Prost. Also liked the ORIGINAL Ferrari red and the nosecones Jordan used.

I also agree with Jordi. The details on the Sauber are very nice.

DNQ · 25 Jan 2003, 14:14 (Ref:485541)

McLaren. Gotta be the McLaren. Sauber, Arrows were nice last year too.

enemy-ace · 25 Jan 2003, 15:09 (Ref:485583)

Mclaren have the nicest livery overall. The Ferrari's are good to, I like tradition. The other frontrunners in the looks department have to be Jaguar and BAR. The worst has to be Toyota, doesn't seem to have any thought put into it.

BootsOntheSide · 25 Jan 2003, 15:49 (Ref:485609)

The McLaren really looks like a striking racing car, a quality most of the current designs lack. Ferrari's Marlboro colouring is depressing to fans.

GXH · 25 Jan 2003, 16:00 (Ref:485615)

Even though the team has a bad team boss,

They have 1 hell of a designer and the colours suit the car.
but then i find black sexy on any car.

Jag's green is no more original than Ferraris. If it had been then I might have voted for it

Nicholas · 25 Jan 2003, 17:04 (Ref:485642)

I used to like the colour green for racing cars, until I worked out that it was an unlucky colour...

Jellybabe · 25 Jan 2003, 18:30 (Ref:485712)

Only if you're racing in the States

Jordi · 25 Jan 2003, 18:48 (Ref:485724)

The Rothmans liveries were also well done. I liked the Renaults. I wish they went back to the yellow, black and white they used.

Jay · 25 Jan 2003, 18:59 (Ref:485732)

yeah, I have a die-cast of a 1997 Williams around here somewhere... that was one awesome car! As far as I'm concerned 1997 was the last year F1 was any good. I watch video from back then and the cars just behaved completely differently on the track. There was more precision in their movement, and it looked like the drivers could actually drive the cars rather than just trying to keep them on the track.

Indeed. But as long as Mild Seven still sponsor them that won't happen.
