Comments on: Top 25 Liveries https://f1colours.sebpatrick.co.uk The Original Grand Prix Liveries Blog Tue, 26 Nov 2019 21:35:27 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.3.2 By: SJ https://f1colours.sebpatrick.co.uk/top-25-liveries/#comment-16854 Mon, 04 Sep 2017 15:27:01 +0000 https://f1colours.sebpatrick.co.uk/#comment-16854 I am gonna leave my top 25 here.

25. Force India VJM09. Looks like a West Mclaren, with the orange line adding a swathe of colour. Looks like what McLaren should be nowadays, but TBH, the VJM09 is much prettier anyway
24. Williams Fw21
Adding more white compared to 1998 really helped this livery. looks more original, and is quite striking
23. Brawn BGP001
the most destincitive livery of the last years, even despite bing largely white. looked better as it gained some sponsors, such as during the races in Singapore and Brazil
22. Honda Ra106.
The tint of white is just perfect, the Lucky strike livery well exectuted, albeit be it quite cluttered
21. Simtek s951 (1995)
Unusual, pretty
20. McLaren Mp4/2
A classic. Not my favorite colours, but I cannot deny they work well. The broad, bulky Mp4/2 suits the chevorns best
19. Toyota Tf104
Toyota’s livery is badly underrated. The livery worked best in 2004.
18. Benetton B191
I like this one better than the 1992/93 schemes, since it has more blue in it.
17. Jordan 197.
positively outrageous. maybe shouldn’t work, and it probably wouldn’t on any other car, but the 197’s shape works well with this livery
16. Prost 2001.
that colour. the livery is simple, but that colour
15. Benetton B188.
If you want colourful, look no further. utilizing many colours without becoming a mess\
14. Brabham BT54
Just gorgeous. the BT54 is an underrated beauty anyway
13. Jaguar R2
I picked this one, but they all look great
12. Lotus 49 (1967).
need I say more? classic
11. Arrows A22
The 2000 version was a bit cleaner, but I feel this one works better with the shape of the car
10. Arrows 1997
A livery befitting a top team. simple and elegant
9. Lotus 79
The black beauty. elegant and classy
8. Williams Fw16
As tragic as it might have been, the Rothmans livery looked best in early 1994
7. Benetton B194
Somewhat cluttered but it is surpisingly pretty. The green makes this livery more distincitive than the later ones
6. Manor MRT05
very clean, beautiful livery, nice colours, and some pretty sweet details.
5. Renault R24
The extra dark blue, and the removal of the jarring white on the wings made this Renault’s best livery. Later ones were more cluttered, but this one is excellent
4. BMW Sauber F1.06
The tint of blue is gorgeous, the touch of red is genius, and the whole looks smooth and clean.
3. Mclaren Mp4/13
Looks like a silver arrow, but adds enough to not be one, looks solid and fast from every angle
2. Jordan 191
Absolute classic. Simply gorgeous
1. Jordan 198
Might still look good on a 2010 – 2013 car. The balance of colours is on point, and even the parts that clash with the rest of the livery fit in quite well (Mastercard). The black nosecone is a nice touch.

On another day, it might have made it in! I think I like it more now than I did back when I originally wrote these, though.

It’s a list of my own personal favourites – therefore, if I left out some of my actual favourites and included ones that weren’t, *then* it would be wrong.

United Colour of Benetton belongs here over the schemes shown, Red Bull deserves a place in the top 10, the JPS Special scheme is number one, long gone never forgotten, and the bright yellow Camel scheme so hated by the JPS fans was bold and daring and better than most shown here and should be in the top 10 as well. Lotus should also be here with the green and yellow livery, McLaren Honda Marlboro and Canon Williams and The classic William’s Parmalat blue and white should be in on the top 10 as well.

The cars would have looked good but most teams would now be running with 2 separate liveries like they do in Indycar if they’d allowed that.
