Best and worst F1 liveries?

[Norfolkit]

All wrong, best one ever (on one of the best looking cars ever), the same paint job looks pretty good on an Elan too.

Where's that red bull car wings for life livery? Looked good and a nice idea.

I remember in 2004 BAR Honda used to run special liveries for their Friday tester (Ant Davidson) in the practice sessions. This Brazil 'graffiti' livery was always my favourite.



This China special livery was also rather eye-catching -

Its the Brabham BT50, Brawn BGP-001 and Williams FW07 for me.





The FW07 is my earliest memory of a F1 driver that I followed/supported. Alan Jones and later Keke Rosberg. If I had to select just one it would be that.

Loved it so much I bought a Scalextric FW07 with pocket, Christmas and birthday money. Mind you I also had a Nelson Piquet Brabham BT50 duvet and pillow set...

My parents bought me that Scalextric car for Christmas when I was a boy. I immediately went and built a track and then left the room to get some other bits and pieces. By the time I'd got back my elder brother had crashed the car and broken the rear wing off. I was heart broken.

I think I need to turn my internet off. I read that sponsor as Brazzers.

Sadly Marussia's performance never quite matched the design



But the classic for me has to be the black JPS Lotus posted earlier

That's a good shout, but I'd actually go back a step further and say the Virgin VR01 was the best looking -

In before someone harps on the Marlboro McLaren being the greatest thing since sliced bread.

It may have been discussed elsewhere but just watching qualifying I've realised a lack of sponsors on a few cars.

Years ago the whole car was taken up with advertising now it seems minimal. Is this a sign that F1 is not seen as the place to advertise anymore?
