Making something so simple seem so fast, makes me happy in my pants.

Aside from this year's Lotus and the chrome McLaren's, the 2012 HRT car for me looked brilliant. Even though it was ****.

Is that one from the Design your Livery thread?

As much as I was a fickle fan at that period and despised the very sight of that car, I must admit that, in hindsight, those Renaults were beautiful.

Just for me it's Renault R30 from 2010. Pure magic in the hands of magician...

What does the driver have to do with the livery?

[Brother Fox]

Excluded due to the timeframe, otherwise I think it's even better than their 2010 version

Best of the last 10 years?

Personally I'd put the blue and yellow Renaults 3rd in the past 10 years, behind Toyota and Jaguar.

This is, of course, the correct answer.

F1 needs yellow cars. 

[KnucklesAgain]

McLaren, Ferrari, Caterham are good, the rest is crap... especially the Sauber cars always had a n ugly livery, yuck

 

[muramasa]

That sauber is a copy of Honda "Karasu (crow)"

 

[DutchQuicksilver]

Easy answer, the Renault R30 of course. Case closed.

The fact that this AGS was constructed by Bburago explains a lot.

i definitely like both Enstone liveries, but the coolest one, i think is 2013 Caterham. that green and yellow fits perfectly

Yup, the Caterham is the best looking car on the grid this year for me. That shade of green is perfect. Much lighter than the one used by the team in previous years.

In just 3 years Renault went from a beautiful car to an abomination like the R29:

 

[DanardiF1]

2013 Caterham for me. They have a livery that is unique to them on the grid (so if you spot them you know immediately which team it is), and they incorporate the sponsor logos into their livery rather than having the different corporate colours being imposed on them. I know it's because the logos like the GE and Airbus ones are there due to them being more B2B with Tony Fernandes than outright sponsorship of the team, so there's less pressure to include corporate colours on the car, but it's just really well done. The Renault logos being placed in the yellow section as a nod to their colours.

 

The guy responsible for all this (the previous livery and the 2013 revision, as well as the team's branding) is Christian Clogger. I met him in Jerez in 2012 and he's a really nice guy and understands the overall idea of branding an F1 car. I think some teams could do with someone like him, as there are some tired and uninspired branding colours and designs in F1.

[TecnoRacing]

Agree...Caterham are the best

 

It's too bad the whole 'Group Lotus' debacle killed the planned Lotus/Caterham version JPS inspired car they were going run in 2011 - that would have been a beautiful car...
