The 1993 BMS Lola just looks shoddy, like a child's designed it.

The 1998 Williams livery would have looked horrible on any car, not just the Williams.

I must also be one of the few people who hates the Shannon Forti livery.


Anyway here's my contrib, the Rebaque:

A red Williams is a blasphemy comparable to having a non red Ferrari. Even the Marlbored Ferraris were close to a sin...

That's the one I meant above - different scraps of colour and logos floating all over the place with no proper design.

And I thought the MasterCard Lola livery was quite nice - not as attractive as the Shannon Forti though.

I quite liked this car, probably because it featured on the first F1 poster I had (which I got free from a garage that was presumably advertising Castrol).

I too thought the Mastercard Lola was nice - but hated the Shannon Forti livery. And it wasn't around long enough for it to grow on me...

Blue? I only remember Olivier Gendebien's yellow Ferrari:

But that was OK, as Gendebien was Belgian, and Belgium's racing colour was yellow. Back then the national colours thing was taken quite seriously. Today it's only Ferrari and Mercedes that still have the original racing colours, more or less.

There was a blue Ferrari. It was a one off with a tobacco sponsor...but I can't remember the brand. Was at a street race of some sort I believe. Maybe a 312B? Not sure...

Ferraris ran in blue and white at the 1964 US and Mexican GPs when John Surtees clinched the title - I can't remember the reason behind it.

Maybe...but I'm sure I remember in an issue of F1 Racing at some point in 2006, they did a small feature on unique liveries - and a light blue Ferrari was in it. At first I thought it was Regazzoni at Long Beach 1976, but that was just standard Rosso Corsa. So I'm not sure on that one...
Also featured were the BAR half and half livery, Jaguar Oceans Twelve livery (rather apt, both were crap), Red Bull's Star Wars livery and the black nosecone on the Ferrari when Pope John Paul II died, plus when Minardi ran a 'John Boy' livery when one of their staff died...must have been 2002, Webber's sponsor Trust got up and left after that.

I don't have any historical Williams-based hatred of it, I just think it's a bit ugly aesthetically!

Enzo fell out with the Italian motorsport body, so ran his cars in the blue and white of the "North American Racing Team" (a team name used for Ferraris that had been exported to US customers and competed in events there) as a protest. I think the dispute was about the homologation of a Ferrari GT car.

Minardi had in its books both the best and the worst as far as liveries are concerned.
The 1996/7 years were pretty poor in the looks department, but i think the 97 challenger takes the cake. White, Yellow and Black are Minardi's colours, but you need to know how to put them together. Mild Seven's blue made it all the more messy.


I must jump in defense of this colour scheme. I loved it and found it the best alongside with Sauber's in 1997.


I concur. Somehow I think, with the sole exceptions of Tyrrell and Sauber (sorry, their past 1996-liveries were mostly bland), 1997 was the year of beautiful liveries.

Thank you for posting the "North American Racing Team" livery. I had never heard of this story. The blue and white Ferrari looks really intriguing. Maybe the recreation of the "North American Racing Team" would be a way to circumvent the testing ban?

I agree with both of your choices. The 1994 Arrows was a beautiful car with an unusual but attractive livery (in my opinion). Pretty fast too, until the hasty rules changes at the Spanish race.
