Ugliest F1 liveries

Post

For every simplistic and beautiful, and maybe possibly classic, Williams FW38 and its famous Martini stripes,

you have the eye numbingly atrocious Williams FW21. A livery so bad, even Sir Frank himself said he would no longer paint his cars red after its migraine inducing tones raced around the world for for two years.

What would you put into the category of F1s worst?

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ah yes, the former BAR team. Heritage for them is very important when it comes down to half *rsed liveries:

It's like they had a competition for the livery and the jury gave the top 2 contenders the exact same amount of points. Instead of throwing up a coin, they sniffed some coke and had the wondrous idea to run both liveries.

Actually, they tried to run two cars with different liveries, but the rules would not allow it.

I like the 555 livery, it doesnt matter if its an F1 car or a WRC Subaru.

92 had a couple of ugly liveries:

I liked the split BAR livery. I also liked the roadrunner colours on the rear of the 99 Williams, looked good from an elevated rear position ie when playing F1 99 with the high chase view.

I think it would be fine with less blue (none at all) and more orange.

It reminds me of a supermarket value brand packet of crisps.

I hated the 'West' Mclarens all looked bloody awful, drab grey mush. Like a crash between an Audi car transporter and a scrap metal van.

Controversial, probably.
