I think Renault is probably going to have a high score in both categories. I think its the best - Mercedes I voted as the worst - simply because they turned what could have been an awesome color scheme into a mess. They blew it big time.

[Buzz47]

I think Virgin's livery is beautiful. It is both artistic and aggressive, reminiscent of a tattooed forearm of a hench cage fighter, yet also sexy like the tramp stamp on a disarmingly slutty woman

I also like the Lotus colours - a nice retro feel to them (will CNN's branding trash the look?) and I think Renault's colour scheme is a wee bit sexy. I think McLaren's is not new enough to be dazzling anymore - a bit same-old-same-old, Mercedes' livery is dull and uninspired. Williams looks the same as ever - competent but maybe too business-like. Force India is the same as before and not that inspiring Ferrari looks okay... but then they are stuck with red. The white detailing freshens their look... The Red Bulls and Toro Rossos look overworked and slightly chaotic, but the cars do look quite aggressive/purposeful.

[Nustang70]

I picked Lotus for best. I just love the color scheme, and the evocative livery really excites me about this new team. Renault's livery is stunning as well. Red Bull's is better than last year, Mclaren's is strong as usual. Mercedes' is growing on me. I'm not fond of the amount of white on the Ferrari. Force India's livery keeps improving--it's much cleaner than it was a few years ago. Virgin's livery is alot of fun. Toro Rosso's is pretty good, but the fact that it is a Red Bull B squad irritates me. Sauber, Williams, and Hispania are all kind of bland to me, but I gave the worst vote to Sauber for being the blandest of the bland.

[NightProwler]

I always thought the ForceIndia's were bland as hell

Red Bull is nice to look at, as is Ferrari, Virgin and Lotus

Sauber spent about 5 minutes on their car but it sort of works imo. Much better than the brawn cluster**** that was last years 5 minuter,

[King Six]

Voted Virgin for best, Torro Rosso for worst.

Infact I'd consistently vote TR for worst anything. Shut the **** up Red Bull GmbH. We get it. No need to have two god damn teams with your energy drink spamming the grid. **** sake.

Wish they were still Minardi.

[soca]

For the best i was between Merc and Red Bull but i voted for Merc, for the worst i was between Force India and Mclaren and i voted for Mclaren, the same old stuff like Ferrari and the car looks weird too.

[Scotracer]

Best: Renault
Worst: Mclaren

I've never liked the chrome Mclaren look. The Renault is just awesome.

[TenienteX]

best livery: tie between lotus and ferrari

worst livery: the mousegrey/turquois mercedes

[Xaus]

The worst by far is the Mercedes. It's so incredibly bland and dull.

[plastik2k9]

Best: Virgin
Worst: Mercedes

[Don_Humpador]

Best : Lotus (it would be Virgin if we could see whether it was "proper" red)
Worst : Mercedes (it's... grey.)

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Best:
(okay, I'm biased;))


Worst:
Force India, green orange and white are not a classic colour combo.

[RobH]

Best: Went for McLaren, simply classy and well done; though Renault's new "wasp" look is not far behind.

Worst: Force India. Blandness personified.

[Buttoneer]

Best: Lotus

Worst: Torro Rosso - too much bull

[Lights]

Worst is between Mercedes and Hispania, both way too much grey. Mercedes somehow makes up for it more.

[H0R]

I also voted Lotus the best livery. And as they are leading the poll I think this is the first serious success for a newborn team. Even more as they probably spent 1/10 of Mercedes for their livery's design

[werks prototype]

You can't really argue with the Renault, but I can't work out if it is evoking a nostalgic 'Jordan' vibe rather than a vintage Renault one. The 'Wasp' may well start to grate as the season goes on. The Lotus is also a nice 'nostalgic' job, but it is going to soon lose its Mystique if it performs poorly on a regular basis. The Mclaren lstill ooks good to me in its 'liquid metal'. The Ferrari has become a 'mobile bank' Santander, which could certainly prove handy if you have got any impending transactions whilst at the circuit this year, simply flag the car down, do your business and then let him go on his way. And yes the new diffuser will include a cashpoint. The weirdest thing though has to be the Merc with its oily shell like ripple effects all over it.

[jeze]

Ferrari, you can never beat a Ferrari in terms of livery. Had it not been for Hispania, Renault would've been worst... again. Yellow and black is an awful combination

The Ferrari is a beauty when it is all red, especially with those huge shields on the side. I have often thought though that it would be good to see them mix things up again and race a Blue or a Green Ferrari just as a one off. Say Green for Silverstone or if they ever get another Brit driver or Blue for a possible future French GP or if they manage to get Bianchi into a secure seat in the future.

[Phucaigh]

Best: Lotus and Renault and it is the Jordan vibe for me.

Worst: HRT, grey, it's like fog, or a rainy sky, just dull.

And a black one for Mordor...

But the whole point is to win a British GP in red!

[noikeee]

Best: Lotus

Worst: Force India

[Buttoneer]

I think those who are voting Mercedes (as worst!) might eat their words if they see it in the flesh. I reckon that brushed steel look will look amazing on the track.

Nah, looks like a bar of Soap.

[MadYarpen]

best - Renault, closely followed by lotus and traditionally McL. Worst easily HRT, saubers livery is butt ugly too, but i don't think this IS the livery.

[Buttoneer]

This lot might disagree;

[Seanspeed]

There's so many good ones this year. Renault's throwback livery looks fantastic. The Lotus is classic. The Mercedes looks great with its grey and Petronas green. The HRT looks very clean. Ferrari's always look great, but the white on red isn't quite as pretty, in my opinion.

But I'm gonna go with Virgin. They've created a rather different sort of livery - something you'd expect to see on a souped-up Mustang at SEMA or something. And I love it. It actually seems to have been designed by somebody with an eye for design, unlike many race liveries, which just seem to be mismashes of sponsor colors and awful contrast colors and schemes.

Worst is probably the Mclaren for me. I really, really dislike the whole 'chrome' look. Also not a fan of the red front and rear wings, either. I wish they would revert back to the grey and black liveries from earlier in the decade. Those were awesome. Red Bull is a close second. The worst thing about the Red Bull cars is the yellow tipped nose. It looks terrible. Past Red Bulls have often looked like duckbill platypus' because of it. Hint to Red Bull - if you've got a somewhat ugly nose - DONT emphasize it by painting it different colors. The rest of the car isn't that great, either. Never been a huge fan of the 'Red Bull' livery in general.

[nordschleife]

Best: Lotus. I predict tingles wherever it goes. They did right by ACBC. I wouldn't have used the thin white stripes but it's still the best one out there. No points for originality. Max points for wisdom and reverance.

Worst: Hispania. A bold failure would have been better than this self-defeating whimper. It is the colour of shame. When you look at the presentation picture the cut and finish of the suits is more interesting. Never a good sign.

[Bouncing Pink Ball]

Best: McLaren, Virgin and Red Bull
Worst: Toro Rosso, Sauber and Lotus

I'm thinking my dislike for the Lotus livery is based on having driven past a John Deere outlet every day on my way to college for 8 months. That look is forever linked to farm tractor for me.

[Mekola]

Best: Red Bull. A classic one in the last years.
Worst: Sauber. Mostly as unsponsored as it is.

[Les]

I liked the Hispania at first but I have a growing dislike for it everytime I see it. The Grey's not cool.

The Lotus colour scheme is beautiful if not the car itself. For me the BMW-Sauber-Ferrari is the most beautiful car overall, yes even more than the Renault-Lada.

[Dispenser89]

Best: Virgin

Worst: McLaren

Sorry, but anybody that votes as best livery for something else than Renault, Lotus or Mercedes must be color blind

Worst: I actually voted Renault but looking at the pics of it I'm finding myself liking it a lot more than I remember.. So Merc, HRT... er... Hispania, and... probably have to go with Toro Rosso.

I agree with you 100%, primarily because your avatar is awesome!

As for worst, that Red Bull oughtta be in NASCAR.

Yeah, but Formula 1 cars aren't powered by their liveries.

[Polle]

two people voted lotus, worst livery?

[GmP]

Best: Lotus. Classic.
Worst: toss-up between Force India and Sauber: Sauber.

btw: All Sharkfin cars are by (my) definition uglier then the non-sharkfin ones.
