F1 Fanatic

From more recent times (and in no particular order), I like;

Ferrari F2008
McLaren MP4-25
Lotus T127

But the best of all time has got to be;

Lotus 49. No competition.

@S.J.M awesome cars. Maserati has to be one of my favourites and I like the 49 and Williams also. Not such a fan of the other two.

@Pamphlet I love the MP4-23 for the same reasons. Beautiful and ferocious at the same time.

For me, a John Player Special Lotus is as good as it gets. Gold and black… the great dark horse car (and the drivers were pretty good too).

Brawn GP BGP-001 (2009)
McLaren MP4-6 (1991)
Lotus 98T (1986)
Lotus 79 (1978)

I think the cars from about 1998-2004 had good proportions. Their wings and bodywork were simpler. The cars in the years following Senna’s death looked a bit odd as the teams got their head around the safety improvements, and the cars following Schumacher’s dominant years were a symptom of the FIA’s attempt to reduce downforce, forcing designers to use increasingly ugly solutions.

My favourite specifically from 2004, and probably the entire decade, is the Renault R24. Lovely sculpted sidepods, not too cluttered like they became soon after, and one of the first cars to really start tightening the rear.

The 2005 McLaren MP4/20 and the 1995 Ferrari 412 T2 are two of my personal favourite cars for mainly the same reasons. Gorgeous looking, gorgeous sounding, infamously unreliable and with their drivers at the helm, extremely spectacular.

@JT19 that was best livery, this best is car.
