The most beautiful F1 car EVER!?

[@AhmedNaas]

Chaps, you want feedback? Well it is, by miles, the most pleasurable F1 Podcast I've had the honor of following. The mix of banter, historical but more importantly technical chat is just impossible to miss. thank you DC, Thank you Eddie... love you both! Oh yes, massive thanks for the F1 memories, especially Eddie with his love for (Cheap I know) rookies who became legends thanks to him. Hats off

[@talbotd27]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this is the greatest F1 show, podcast, program, full stop to ever exist. Hearing these stories from the mouths of the men who literally built modern F1 into what it is today is priceless. These are not just entertainment, they are a historic documentaries about Formula 1 that will live on and be relevant as long as the sport is alive

[@curtism5333]

Go to second this. The only podcast I follow and can’t wait for the next episode. Not only history but shared in a balanced way.

[@413TomaccoRoad]

1978 Lotus but the Mansell DiAngelis and Senna JPS cars were pretty nice too.

[@yvlakhtionov]

Lotus 79 JPS - Ferrari 312T2 - McLaren MP4/2 - Williams 11B

[@michaelwallace1861]

The Black / Gold John Player livery. Looked fast when it was sitting still.

[@Kf1rr]

Best looking F1 car ever was indeed Jordan...for me, it always will be that black and Yellow Jordan from 1999 with hornet, nothing even come close to that beauty...Hats of to Eddie for that one.

[@Roguescienceguy]

I second that

[@Niex_Knox]

Same here first car that comes to mind is those bees.

[@flopre9213]

even as a kid before i even knew why it was called a Jordan, I recognized the yellow cars as much as the red ones

[@g3n3ralkim23]

You're talking about a livery, not the car. Also, 97 and 98 Jordan liveries with the snake on the nose were not even close but far ahead of the 99 livery imo.

[@quackhouseproductions5572]

I always wanted the Honda Jordan civic. Maybe one day.

[@williamp6800]

The Lotus 79. Spectacular in that black and gold livery.

[@sccchan1980]

For me it’s the MP4/6. Iconic and simple colour scheme with Senna’s iconic colours. Bonus V12 engine. It had fat slick tyres and was low, wide and looked fast!

[@willielarsson9651]

Stuffing a slice of pizza in my mouth just as i pressed play and Eddie was telling us about his piles.. great timing. AAARRGRRRRRR

[@brendanmaguire4134]

Hope you're pizza not spicy. 😮

[@GkPhotographic]

hey from Dublin . i totally agree about that 191 , Garry designed a real F1 car , and EJ is right about good guys don't win , such is life . i have to admit when i seen Eddie Irvine driving a Jordan , it actually brought a tear to this Irishman's eye . we Love Motor racing here on this island . it goes back a long way , "my horse is faster then your horse " ill take that bet . well done DC , its a rear thing when you get right to the very heart of a subject , with DC, Ej and Garry , this conversation is very interesting . you guys have given good memory's for all motorsport fans

[@Time4utube]

🇮🇪💚🏁

[@jimmykeeys7669]

Great to see Gary again. It was 1990 when I worked on the body work plugs at Protoform Patterns for the 191 car. Was one of the highlights of my career. Such a knowledgeable guy and a pleasure to work with. Thanks. Jimmy, New Zealand.

[@apex107lrp]

I don't often listen to FFS, but when I do I set aside enough time for the whole episode, and never regret it. Great content, great characters, great info and history.

[@nikolais4thwife680]

My favorite F1 cars in terms of livery design are definitely the '97 Jordan, '09 Brawn, and either the early 2010s or OG black and gold lotuses.

[@chrispig7748]

Yes, awesome guy who doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Love listening to him as he explains everything so well

[@AJ-fe8om]

09 Brawn??

[@Phoenix1664]

​@@AJ-fe8omYeah I was thinking that. It was a quick car but it looked like it was made out of damn Lego. Green wheels wtf! Best looking car I think was Jordan 191 obviously, or the 95' Ferrari, 95' Bennetton (I loved all those 95' cars tbh) or 2005 McLaren, just because it looked fast.

[@10zoll]

in my list the williams 14b had to be added

[@weallfollowmanutd]

The Brawn looked pig ugly like all those stupid regulation machines back then.

[@exF3-86]

If we could get a chat between Newey, Anderson and John Barnard- the Old School or maybe Slide Rule designers- I would be a very, very happy and very quiet driver holding onto every word. I'd love to hear how their brains work, because it's different to the rest of us

[@jkim6200]

You left out Rory Byrne from Toleman/Benneton/Renault and Ferrrai (Ross Bawn was te technical director at the time; also like John Barnard, Gordon Murray goes back to 1970s o F1 designer, e soyl e included as well

[@doughnuts_88_]

The 91 Jordan the 7up car has been my screensaver for years absolutely stunning design. The 98 yellow Jordan with the 🐝 was lovely looking too

[@t-mar9275]

Not a Ferrari fan by any stretch of the imagination but the 1961 Ferrari 156 (Sharknose) was a thing of beauty.

[@_Ben4810]

My personal favourite still remains the 1994 Team Lotus Type 109.....the last ever Team Lotus car....the shape, the colours, the livery & the many, many sponsors....designer Chris Murphy's masterpiece of a car.

[@DabDabGoose]

The Gordan Murray(yes the McLaren f1 designer) Designed 1983 BT52 Brabham was probably the best looking F1 ever made, the X shape of the chassis looked insane.

[@shooter7a]

Murray did not design much at McLaren.... As far as "best looking" goes, there is no accounting for personal taste. To me the BT52 is one of goofiest looking designs ever.

[@rexhorrell]

@@shooter7aMurray nailed the transition from 82 rules ground effects to 83 flat bottom rules. BMW provided silly amounts of BHP and Nelson had no fear. World Championship. Goofy? OK.

[@shooter7a]

@@rexhorrell goofy LOOKING. The thread is not about the best car, it is about the best looking car. The 83 car was no doubt outstanding. I just do not know how anyone could say it is good looking.

[@Dave-mi3jy]

As a relatively new fan to F1 my attraction to the sport is the behind the scenes dealings as much as the performance aspect and may I add I come to this sport as somewhat of a spy looking for ideas to enhance my abilities to improve the sport I’m invested in (NHRA Top Fuel) and as exciting and daunting as it is we have little to zero content of this depth and quality yet we do have the components and characters in place…..maybe someday. Until then I appreciate you content thoroughly and the lessons learned from years ago.

[@dookweidema2121]

Great interview ! Loved the question of David about Alpine and the reaction of EJ was spot on about the interest of Andretti

[@gcmarcrod]

Love being able to hear this kind of insight from people who have been there and got all the T-shirts. What a great pod cast.

[@justlookingaround9834]

Gary is a legend. Straight talking clear information and a genuine bloke.

[@michaelehrt6277]

The Jordan 191 is definitely one of the best looking cars in F1. I loved it at first glance. There's also Jim Clark's Lotus care from the 60's. There's something otherworldly about the image of Jim getting all 4 wheels off the ground in Lotus.

[@guyerj]

Great to see Eddie and Marie at Minas Taverna at Abelike Bay a couple of nights back. I hope you enjoyed this lovely bit of Paradise.

[@ronthorn5900]

Brilliant so interesting to hear about the background stuff my favourite of all time the Lotus 49 the B I saw at my first GP with huge wings and my hero as a boy the great Graham Hill . Thanks again great stuff 👍

[@checker3694]

Still remember it like yesterday, on display in Birmingham autosport show at NEC. The crowds gathered round looking at what was, and still is best looking F1 car

[@casimiriwaszkiewicz8962]

Couldn’t spot any weak links. Great insight from Gary and the importance of understanding one’s weaknesses.

[@jonelson1983]

It would be Prost’s Ferrari 641/2 of 1990….stunning looking car. I also like any of the mid-80’s ‘Gitanes / LOTO’ Ligiers.

[@davidboyle9636]

I've long believed that "our" Gary Anderson (yes, I'm proud to be from Norn Ireland) is up there as one of the greatest people in F1, and such a gentleman too. The 191 was in my opinion the most beautiful F1 car ever, and possibly as much an aerodynamic masterpiece as any Newy design. 🤔 I loved this FFS podcast - thanks guys for another great show!! 😎

[@richboy900]

McLaren MP4-20 for me. It's like it broke down every week though. The chrome silver McLarens after were stunning also

[@fatrick5004]

At one time i had 117 model F1 cars (mostly 90s and 00s) but needs must and I had to seel most. I also have Nascar, GT, CART, WRC and Montoyas indy 500 car. In my living room I have 8 cars on display on my book shelves...one is a signed Fisi J197 and one is A DeC's J191. Gorgeous cars.

I prefer the Lotus 98T - the 80s car that Senna drove

[@kapatzi]

It's great to listen to you, Respect to you all!! 👊

[@beagle7622]

The Lotus 49 was the first F1 car that looked really professional especially the front suspension.

[@PeterAJWoods]

What a great channel this is. Number 1 for me to go to for F1 content. Well done lads! p.s. Eddie please help get Cape Town back on the F1 map - some how. It would be so great for the country and F1 itself.

[@bradwaters4756]

I think the 1967 Gurney Eagle is the best looking of all time. Classic race car.

[@MrDuanewarren]

I remember is a mechanic working for Volvo maintaining some of the Jordan hospitality equipment and then only having the budget to service once a year

[@donaldfarquar]

The small window that BBC had Gary Anderson in the pit lane was the best period of F1 coverage anyone ever had. Commentary was near perfect with Burndle, then Ben and David. Gary and Lee in the pit lane was perfect no nonsence info and interviews. EJ talking nonsence with the occasional amazing prediction. Jake holding it all together. Losing Burndle to sky was a small price to pay for them taking Ted. Always looked forward to Gary's segments, was so good to have someone with genuine knowledge instead of Kravitz nonsense.

[@Time4utube]

Yes great days still best coverage we ever seen EJ DC MB Lee mckenzie Ben Edwards

[@Time4utube]

Yes and Ted gone too far

[@audreyperrin320]

I used to like if when it was on the BBC I don't have sky sports but I don't like Crofty he shouts to much channel 4 are better sky sports only like Lewis they don't have time for max and red bull they have not got over 2021 the only thing about channel 4 is Steve drives me mad

[@TC10193]

Mansell's 1989 Ferrari 640 is the best looking F1 car IMO folllowed by the early 80's Essex Petroleum liveried Lotus

[@blackflagqwerty]

My Faves: 1994 Ferrari 412T1 with the original sidepods NOT The later season 412T1B. 1990 Ferrari 641 1995 Ferrari 412T2 All the McLarens from the 1998 MP4/13 upto the 2007 MP4-22. All the Rothmans sponsored Williams' looked great. The Jordan 191 had a beautiful shape but I didn't like the paint scheme. I always liked the sleek low look of the Brabham BT55. The entire field of 1967 cars look fantastic.

[@Phoenix1664]

1995? Yeah I loved that car.

[@robertpalin5878]

I really wish I'd been lucky enough to work for Mr Anderson. In my time in F1 it was extremely frustrating that a lot of people were pursuing bigger downforce numbers, with no thought at all for whether it was usable, or actually made the car faster. I've seen the same thing in road car engineering, too. Engineers chasing abstract performance numbers, with little to no holistic vision for the vehicle. It was defended by arguing that if everyone pursued the maximum in their area, the sum of the parts would be greater. That's just not what happens!

[@cornellomarcello]

I like this content Keep on going!

[@stupidassol]

McLaren MP4-21. Was there a livery like this before or since? For a temporary or special livery, the Gulf blue on current era McLaren was gorgeous! Damn, now that I've given way to much thought, the black Mercedes is pretty dope, too. Hell, with the exception of a handful, F1 liveries have been spot on and well done, from single color Ferrari's to well not the dual sponsored Hondas...

[@exF3-86]

To me the two best looking cars of that era were the Jordan 191- designed by Gary Anderson- and the March 881- by some unknown named Adrian Newey. I can tell you that having held a racing license for over 40 years I can look past the livery to the car- and a car that looks right is right. They both looked sooo right and they got results and more points than anyone expected

[@Time4utube]

[@palmerdon]

what a great insight especially regarding humour I'd love to go into pub with these guys

[@grantsutherland6798]

Gary is totally correct. The approach should not be "Wow look at all this technology, how can I use it to make things more complicated?"... The essence of a great engineer is to realise that numbers must be scrutinised and fully understood. I've seen some who will stand behind their numbers yet never see the obvious failings of their measurement processes or independently verifying their observations

[@rexhorrell]

Brabham BT-52. Cleanest design of all time. Gordon Murray at his best.

Just like with who was/is the best driver, it's near impossible to say what's the best looking car, they changed so much and (almost) every era had it's stunners. But Jordan had a lot of very very good looking cars in it's time. But was one of them the best looking car between the 1950s and 2024? Who's to say. (And personally I would start counting from the 1920s, when GP racing emerged)
