So which is your favourite lookin car? I'm aware that it been here already, but after watchin them in TV we can rate it more accuretly I believe

I would go with the Lotus, both color scheme and the look of the car is best imo. Ferrari and Marussia are pretty beauties as well.
Sauber looks horryfing though, new HRT. And Caterham has beautiful color scheme but ugly car. Mercedes would look way better in different color scheme. McLaren is probably cool looking as well but I'm a bit bored with their color scheme (and 2x silver on grid is meh)

Mclaren and Sauber surely nicest.

Shout out to Red Bull probably, the shape and colour scheme do work well

If the Caterham had an attractive nose i would think them too.. The black wheels and british racing green-ish colour remind me of the Bentley Speed 8

its gotta be the caterham, everytime i see a picture of that car on track it just makes me look that lil bit longer

whereas the sauber is just so dull in real life, and how similar the livery looks to the 2010 HRT model, didnt see many people saying how great that livery was....

Sauber, Marussia, Ferrari and Lotus and Caterham and McLaren are my favourite looking cars. (I'm not a Ferrari fan at all either...)

The Merc needs to lose the green/teal accents and go all silver.
The Red Bull/Torro Rosso's are just a big clashy mess, simple them up and they'd look good.
Williams is very conservative and boring.
Force India has the most disgusting colour grouping out of them all, their original colour scheme looked better, and that's not saying much.

The Force India, McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull look not too bad- all stand out quite well.

By far the worst is the Lotus. Terrible colour scheme (poor attempt to rip off the JPS scheme), ugly stepped nose and two bulbous inlets at each side of the airbox.

Depends on the viewing angle in my opinion.

The Merc from a side view looks immense because of its nose, concorde on wheels. From other angles doesn't look so good.

Sauber looked pretty amazing in the unveiling pictures but on track it just looks bland. I don't think the colour compliments the lines of the car, hides a lot of the definition.

Ferrari also from certain angles looks pretty great.

For a winning car the last 3 years the RB sure isn't ugly as some WCC cars have been before.

They all look terrible imo. Too narrow, duck face, and the wings dimensions are just wrong.

It's tough to choose as the rules force them all to be uggers these days. Like they require reconstructive surgery on their noses. This was the last good looking F1 car:

McLaren has been best looking car since 80's (hence Marlboro as tobacco brand back then but simple red and white did work) and still is.

Ferrari. With the red and the high nose, it's looks like a beast. You would be afraid to had this car in your mirror.

I really like the look of the Marussia this year but I will admit that it's the colour scheme which does it for me, I do like the bluff nose of the Ferrari as well.

Realistically, they are all kind of ugly though...

Lotus (livery wise - still don't like the nose) and Ferrari for me. Mercedes is quite nice too.

McLaren are badly in need of a change in my opinion. I thought the Sauber looked good when it was unveiled under the lights but not so good on track.

Not with those hideous looking horns it isn't. Ah well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say...

For this year, from certain angles I rather like the Mercedes, the Ferrari and the Sauber.

Maybe Merc and Ferrari, altho each of them have their own flaws.
Merc car looks somehow tidy and livery is coordinated well.
As for Ferrari, i dont like how white/black stripe goes down at the nose part but still quite nice sporty touch.

Macca is nice but worrying how its livery is losing unity and gets eroded recently, first by lucozade and zain @bahrain.

Lotus is just meh with those red parts but ironically it proves how effective red is.

RBR, that Infiniti ad is just too obvious and cheeky but it's just ok to me.

Sauber wouldve looked alot better imo if it was more aggressive gun-metal, rear wing painted in gunmetal or red not white, and abit more white lines across the car.

I'll give you that. By 08 the cars looked ridiculous with the amount of winglets. In this respect they have been better since the 09 rules came in but the disproportional wings have ruined them ever since and the recent ugly mandated nose heights and steps.

I have to go with Lotus as well. The cars don't look that beautiful these days. Red Bull couple of years back was great. This year's Lotus could also look great only if they have just black and gold. But still the best looking car.

Mercedes and Ferrari look okay.

Never liked McLaren's chrome scheme.

Sauber looks horrible.

I actually agree with this!

Last I checked, SAAB built wicked fighter jets. Also, last I checked, dreary grey doesn't shine and Shimmer like a mirror! ALSO, Last I checked, tofu was awesome :lol:

Sauber by far, if we're judging the looks of the chassis rather than paint job.

Least ugly would be proper title. But anyway, there was a thread with just the chassis of the cars. If we would go by that only, I'd vote Sauber, McLaren, Ferrari and possibly Williams as the best. None of the stepped nose cars would qualify here.

Livery only: Catterham, Marussia maybe, Ferrari not that bad although boring, Sauber, Lotus, nothing really nice since it's basically company logos and colors of the main sponsors.

Complete package: Sauber, Ferrari, Mac.

I count the livery as part of the car, so for me it's got to be Ferrari, RBR, and McLaren, maybe in that order. Of course, I also subscribe to the 'fast cars are automatically beautiful' philosophy as well, so the Lotus is threatening the McLaren's spot at the moment. :p

Red Bull is the best this year.

McLaren looks bad with that nose, Ferrari has a nice chassis but the black on the bottom is awful, Lotus is ugly all around.
