Ferrari F2004 cos it was one of the quickest cars ever

Mercedes MGP-W05 because I'd like to drive a current car

Red Bull RB7, would like to try an EBD.

McLaren MP4-23, one of the quickest V8 cars and looks mental

McLaren MP4-4, need explaining?

Ferrari 312, always liked them.

HRT/Dallara F110, to see what a 'bad' F1 car is even like compared to a good one

McLaren MP4-20, V10

MP4-1,

and Tyrrell 003.

Williams FW30 (I love the livery)

Williams FW31 (It gave me more emotions than any other F1 car)

Williams FW32 with F-duct (it looks cool)

Williams FW34 (the only Williams' race winning car from 2005-2013 period)

Ensign N173 (it looks strange, but I like strange cars)

Spyker F8-VII-B (some good memories and I cheered for that team)

Lotus 72C (because I have a soft spot for Rindt)

Sauber C20 (I like the livery and I like the Sauber team)

Ferrari F1-2000 (one of the best looking Ferraris, something easy to recognise for people with less F1 knowledge )

Vanwall VW 5 or Masterati 250F (to have one car from that era)

[HeidfeldsBeard]

I'm only going to pick cars that I've witnessed first hand.

 

1. 1996 Williams FW18 - Class of the field and the first car I saw win a title.

2. 1997 Lola T97/30 - Worst modern F1 car ever?

3. 2004 Williams FW26 (Walrus Edition) - Another collectors item.

4. 1997 Prost JS45 - That was a beautiful car and pretty rapid until Panis had his crash.

5. 1999 BAR - Loved the livery even if the car was crap.

6. 1997 Arrows Yamaha - Iconic car from my first full season of watching F1

7. 1999 Jordan 199 - Just had to have a yellow car in the garage.

8. 2008 McLaren MP4/23 - Couldn't not have a McLaren.

9. 1997 Benetton B197 - Used to have a soft spot for the Benettons.

10. 2014 Lotus E22 - Why not?!

[noikeee]

2004 Ferrari - stupid quick

1993 Williams - stupidly technically advanced

1986 Brabham - just because it looks like a rocket

1967 Lotus - oh my god no wings, gtfo out the way

1982 Renault - why wouldn't you want a ground effect turbo car? provided you've got the luck of it lasting more than 5 laps

1990 Ferrari - sublimely beautiful and smooth

2008 BMW Sauber - the winglets aero era at its most extravagant peak

2005 McLaren - the car my favourite driver looked better in

1988 McLaren - kinda similar to the '86 Brabham, but you've got to have one of these

1979 Ligier - I love Ligiers and this was such a freakishly quick car

 

gah, I quickly ran out of car space, I wanted one from every decade (missing the modern cars and the 1950s here), I wanted a total dud like the Andrea Moda, I wanted a Adrian Newey March car, etc etc...

[Buttoneer]

I just want one example of all the best banned or ridiculously exploitative cars.  A third pedal McLaren, a Brabham fan car, Lotus 88 etc.

 

Anything which took the engineering way beyond where it ought to have been is good with me, otherwise why bother?
