Over 500 F1 cars in one picture
I came across an excellent picture on another blog which shows every Formula 1 car from 1950 to 2004 side-by-side. Here’s a sample of it:
That 1990 Benetton is a favourite of mine, by the way...

Thats awesome, shame the cars couldn’t be lined up by team to see the evolution of each car

Have you seen allf1.info?
For me it’s the ’95 Ferrari

That’s mental lol…

That is the most wonderful thing I’ve ever seen. Right up my alley. Now if only I could sneak that onto the huge A1 printer at work…
I’m a fan of the newer era of cars, from 1990 onwards, and I always find the lesser teams have cooler looking cars and liveries.
The ’91 Jordan is a classic an looks like it means business, the ’92 Brabham has a rare F1 colour… pink. The ’94 and ’95 Pacifics are cool, along with the Simteks.
I love Minardi’s 2000 livery though.

Just noticed they have the 2001 Toyota car… a test car that never raced, yet they don’t have the 1997 Lola, which at least made it to a race weekend.

IMO, F1 cars looked the best late 50s to mid 60s

from 1970 to the mid-80′s, absolutely wretched.

Insane picture!
Jordan 1991
Minardi 1996
Orange Arrows
I also love the classic malboro McLaren livery.

Nice to see the old teams
I see Brabham now sueing the new Brabham team for using its name. So pleased, i hope we don’t get fake lotus and brabham in f1

The Lotus 1971 56B looks like I piece of cheese

Heres a link to a forum that has the poster updated for 2009 http://forums.finalgear.com/formula-1/formula-1-cars-poster-34882/page-2/

Thanks Shaun
Looking at this years cars all together like that i say the Mclaren is by far the best looking, in profile at least.
TommyB said on 11th June 2009, 21:58
HAHA I just noticed the car that has ABBA on it!!
persempre said on 11th June 2009, 22:07
If I remember right the driver (Slim Borgudd [might have spelt that wrong]) was sponsored by ABBA while he drove for ATS, TommyB.
Tim said on 12th June 2009, 8:07
Borgudd was ABBA’s drummer, I think.

Correct!

Someone`s done an impressive amount of work.
It’s impossible for me to pick just one favourite car out of them, though.
scunnyman said on 11th June 2009, 22:18
I wish i had remembered this pic was on my hard drive. I’ve had it for a while now. I could have uploaded it long ago.
I had it as a wallpaper for a while too.
If i was still a teenager it would make an ideal large poster for the bedroom wall.

The Times used to do posters like that each year you could send off for – I distinctly remember having the one for 1991 and learning all the drivers’ names – Eric van de Poele, Julian Bailey…
scunnyman said on 11th June 2009, 22:26
Now Keith,
You should do a poll in connection with the picture to see which of those cars is the best looking
scunnyman said on 11th June 2009, 23:03
my vote would be for the 1992 Ferrari F92A
very sleek smooth curves
and i never have liked the high noses on an F1 car.
cyanide said on 12th June 2009, 8:47
Over 500 options in a vote? Don’t think it would give much information, if any. :D

Why note, lifes too short not to know these important questions! :)
beneboy said on 11th June 2009, 22:47
That is fantastic !
There’s plenty of great looking cars on there, still got a soft spot for the 1992 Williams FW14B, the 1961 Ferrari 156 would have to get my vote though.
Choltz said on 11th June 2009, 23:03
I love how it shows the major evolution between 67 and 77 and how little has changed in the last 10 years.
Andy @ Phoenix Tinting said on 11th June 2009, 23:17
Awesome picture! Scunnyman I’m with you on the 1992 Ferrari F92A, beautiful!

Shamed it handled like a boat in a car park.
scunnyman said on 12th June 2009, 3:33
most of the good looking cars in F1 seem to be dogs.
Just look at this years Mclaren. And a lot of people said the Williams was the best looking 2009 car but they are not doing as well as people thought they might be doing better than they are.
