A black flag for that one! John Watson did more than enough in that car to unrejectify it.

Has been my favourite since I saw it on the track.

My Top 10
I may have missed some older classics, but these are mostly from newer seasons as well as seasons that I re-watch from time-to-time.

Image
Image
I became a Caterham fan because I loved their colour scheme. I stayed a Caterham fan because they were endearingly shite.

Image
Image
If their aerodynamicists were as gifted as their livery designers, HRT would have been serial title challengers.

Image
Image
And this, not the whole many-different-winners-in-a-row thing, is why 2012 was such a great F1 season. What a trio of liveries.

Image
It drove like shite, but at least it looked cool doing it.

Image
A most simple and beautiful car. Shame it spent so little time on-track.

Image
This, McHonda, is an orange and black F1 car.

Image
It's not simple, or especially beautiful, but I love it all the same.

Image
Never forget.

Image
Scientists may never explain quite why this livery is so beautiful, but it is.

Image
I really wish this car got more airtime in the old 1994 races I sometimes watch. Not that I blame the director.

Honourable mention:
Image
What a gorgeously classy livery they made here, only to then desecrate it with Mallya's booze brands.

Hi, here is my top ten

10- Tyrrell 024 (1996)
Image

Nice livery, but the lack of more colour put it in 10

9- Minardi m 191 (1991)
Image

Good effort from the perennial backmarkers of the 90s

8- Supa Aguri SA08A
Image

I like the white and red combo, but the touch of black make me choose this livery from the team with the best name ever

7- Leyton House cg901 (1989)

Image

Light blue and green??? yeah!!!!

6- Prost AP02 (1999)

Image

Blue, pure class, the french elegance (the engine... sacre bleu!!!)

5- Arrows A19 (1998)

Image

I really really really like black cars, and this it's beatiful, and i don't want to choose the Andrea Moda

4- Simtek S941 (1994) without sponsors

Image

This livery its brilliant!!!!! But missed the podium because of the awful sponsors

3- Manor MRT05 (2016)

Image

Very nice livery, the colours are balanced, the black part it's classy, and the logo hinted in the engine cover it's perfect

2- Arrows A20 (1998)

Image

This is the perfect example of a livery based on a sponsor (in a reject car, obviously!)

1- Caterham CT05 (2014)

Image

The emerald green it's gorgeous, the black wings are impressive,and the nose was disgusting!
I'm not a serious person

Spirit's swansong livery from 1985. Guess what inspired the 2016 Manor livery...

Apologies for the resurrection.
