The Most Ugly One-Off F1 Cars of All Time

[@LawVS]

Now look at the BEST one-off liveries: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoull2SPYs2eZtE

[@pewukut]

The chrome backlash was probably due to the pictures (not renders) released, they were made in a cloudy weather and under a roof. For me that also looked bad, but then I saw the renders, and am trying to give it a chance.

[@LawVS]

That's a fair point...they could've used their foyer but...didn't.

[@sasch2307]

I mean the weather they rendered in is probably realistic british weather…

[@BlissifiedHH]

Im guessing the backlash on McLarens chrome livery is because its not enough chrome since they need to save weight. Or the lighting i guess. I personally really like the papaya and the chrome mixed. I think it has potential to be a permanent livery for McLaren if google stays

[@LawVS]

I suppose so, but even then it was super surreal. I didn't think it was bad at all!

[@dylanburston7453]

I dotn like it because it looks like a 6 year old has wrapped it in tinfoil. I actually really like the contrast between the chrome and orange, but its the way its put on. Theres just a fully orange rear wing floating around,and a random sliver of orange on top of the airbox, and the chrome of the wing seems a differrent shade. Its just really scruffy looking

[@tbmofoulprinceromero]

More chrome and less papaya should improve it.

[@RikaRikaItsumika]

Man I loved that castrol livery but maybe just because those shades of green and blue are some of my favourite colours xD Same with you on the 1000,and as for the new chromeclaren my problem with it is just that theres not enough chrome,it just feels half baked,just switched the teal and black to chrome.

It was just a precursor to the A522 and its change.

Really enjoying your content man! You're one of the best KZbinrs for when I'm trying to get my F1 news and opinions quick, as they are happening. Not sure if anyone has already suggested this, but in the future when covering content that's especially visual, maybe don't have the simulated lighting change on images. On old monitors or TVs it can make difficult to discern colors.

[@LawVS]

I appreciate it, but I use that to ensure it's different enough from the original photo, but I'll look to doing less intrusive measures next time

[@buzzbam]

@@LawVS oh I hear you, that makes sense. I'd much rather have you be able to keep making video without that worry, the viewer can always look the image up independently

[@F1Unchained]

I can’t lie I actually love the MP4 livery. It might have to do with the actual shape of the car but I just thought it looked so sick. Now looking back at the Alfa testing livery wow that thing is hideous.

I think the MP4-29 gripe I have is when you compare it to the MP4-28 and the W05 of 2014. The McLaren, by comparison, looks bland.

Thank you so much! I try my best to present it in a more down-to-earth manner from the perspective of an F1 fan vocalising their takes.

[@rafo6303]

I just think it needed more chrome I think that if they had less black and more chrome it would look a lot better. I was hoping they would do something like use the 2008 livery but replace it with orange. But sadly that can't happen weight saving really can make or break livers.

[@LawVS]

I think with this era of weight saving it's less possible than it would've been just two years ago.

[@justarandomguy4873]

I know this isn't a one-off livery simply because it raced for 3 full years But Toro Rosso's 2006-2008 artistic pinkish-red bull taking over 60% of the car and standing out from the metallic dark blue base color and the yellow nose cone and circle being replaced with gold was *AMAZING* and one of, if not, the most underrated F1 livery in history in my opinion

Yeah those Toro Rosso designs were very elaborate and to be respected.

[@scullystie4389]

Constructive feedback, it’s hard to get a feel for just how ugly the livery is when the brightness and hue of the image is constantly shifting

[@LawVS]

It's to do with the style of my videos so it's not just a static image.

[@ramenrm]

@@LawVS I get that, but when you're talking about liveries and colours specifically, the drastic and quick hue shifting was very distracting from the video. I couldn't tell whether some of the colours were originally on the car, or if it was just due to the gradient. Maybe a less fast-moving and contrasting gradient next time? I really liked the idea of the video, but the gradient over the images just wasn't helping.

[@dominicbarden4436]

I'll be honest, I thought McLaren could've done more with the chrome than just replace some of the black and blue with it. Chrome and Papaya is an interesting combination, and combining the historic papaya with the more recent association that the chrome has I think is a nice idea. I just think it could've been done better perhaps. Actually, McLaren's first car was painted white, as it was one of the cars used to film the film 'Grand Prix' during the 1966 season. It was originally meant to be green and silver but Bruce McLaren was short of money, so he struck a deal with the makers of 'Grand Prix' for the car to be painted white with a green stripe to represent a fictional Japanese team in the film. Papaya was introduced in 1967 on McLaren's Can-Am cars (Bruce wanted to make the cars stand out) and had made its way onto their F1 cars by 1968. It was with this livery that Bruce McLaren won the team's first F1 race by winning in Belgium. Papaya then stayed on until 1973 (by then there was only a little of it on the car as McLaren had gone corporate with sponsorship from cosmetics maker Yardley resulting in a mostly white livery), then for 1974 it was replaced by the classic red and white of Marlboro (though they ran a third car still sponsored by Yardley). Then it was all sponsor dictated arguably: Malboro until 1996, the Silver and black used for both West and the fact that Mercedes had taken a major stake in the team, and arguably that Mercedes aspect stayed with the chrome liveries from 2006-'14, even though they'd sold their stake in McLaren in 2009. Papaya is purely McLaren though, anyone who says otherwise hasn't done their research.

[@LawVS]

Sadly the weight issue is still a thing so they had to bow to that unfortunately. As for the colour, it was referring to their first F1 car in 1968 but I forgot the pre-68 stuff.

[@dominicbarden4436]

@@LawVS McLaren started in F1 in 1966 with that aforementioned white car, and I believe their car was red in 1967. Then Papaya in 1968. To be fair, I don't know what colour Bruce painted his cars for the Tasman Series before taking his team to F1. Maybe he just kept them green seeing as they were just Coopers with larger engines.

[@il-ma.le.]

​@@dominicbarden4436if it's true that Bruce saw the Papaya on another driver's car, it wasn't really his original color. That would be found under Ron Dennis with the Volcano Orange when they started making supercars regularly, the P1 wore it excellently. Another thing to be tied to Dennis is the first color the Speedmark sported, the same Rocket Red used for the Marlboros that later was kept in both West and Vodafone on the nosecone's tip and the "red wings" upon the sidepods. I'd suggest an article that pops up with "convoluted origins of the Speedmark" as keywords, it explains many things, including my next point. The real reason they're going full Papaya is to counter Ron's legacy. He isn't a saint, I hold personally against him for having denied the McLambo when it was doable, but I did like some of the things that came under him(West livery, P1, Volcano Orange). This is going far enough that the Volcano has been either renamed Ember or replaced althoghether in the road cars' color palette. I don't draw for McLaren, I actually don't draw at all, but they should get rid of the blue/azure since Gulf wherever Gulf will be it won't be on a McLaren, and because unlike Bridgestone Goodyear has not shown interest in re-entering F1. They should use orange as central color(their weight gimmick is not paying) and use one accent ranging from (Volcano)yellow to (Rocket)red, even magenta may work, and another accent in a range from black to white, grays included. For the actual graphic, am not a fan of the Vodafone even though it's still the most extensive Speedmark's deployment to this day, while my personal fav has been happily labeled as "Arrows" and "cheap toy". Speaking of wich, the literal Arrows McLaren SP is a regular contender and a fan favorite, the change of air literally did wonders.

[@dominicbarden4436]

@@il-ma.le. The McLaren Indycars are lovely looking cars. I also think the current livery works better on their Formula E cars than their F1 car! I didn't say that Bruce saw the papaya on another driver's car. He might've done, who knows, equally he might've chosen it on his own volition. Ron Dennis has done so much for McLaren over the years, but for me his second spell in charge from 2014-'16 soured my opinion of him a fair bit. Zak Brown's not been perfect, but he should get credit for helping institute the culture change at the team in 2019 that was sorely needed after 2017 and 2018. I'm not a fan of the Gulf blue the team have right now, honestly they should have the blue that they had from 2018-'21. I did like the shade of orange used in 2017 though, whatever shade that was (I think it was called Tarocco). Your idea for the graphic is interesting, though I'm not sure about the magenta. Personally I'd rather have orange and blue. It would be nice if they did a livery incorporating each era, if you like, though I don't know if that's possible. Papaya, perhaps the volcano orange, blue, silver/chrome, black, red, maybe a little white, I imagine there are plenty of colour clashes. Papaya is associated with most of McLaren's early successes in the 60s and 70s to be fair. Their first several F1 wins, their Can-Am domination and their IndyCar success with 2 Indy 500s and plenty of wins at other races. It's not necessarily associated with their F1 zenith.

[@randallellison6421]

That Jaguar Oceans 12 livery looks like someone traveled to Mexico, saw a Ferromex locomotive and thought "yeah, lets use those colors for the Oceans 12 scheme" and proceeded to fail miserably when they painted the car! Also I have no idea why they thought sticking a $300,000 diamond on the nose of the car was a good idea! The '07 Red Bull car was a cool idea, but looking at the stills, it looks more like they dipped the car in glitter instead of plastering photos on it. And the 2022 Alfa Romeo.....just wow, WOW, my eyes were hurting just looking at the car!

[@Jacquibim]

McLaren's Singapore 2022 livery was easily my least favourite in recent years. Cluttered, garish and over-designed, with splotches of dull, bare carbon everywhere. Absolute eyesore. As for the "light Marlboro" livery that Rosberg drive: when I first saw a photograph of it, I thought the photo had been washed out sun exposure or something. When I saw the yellow and white car next to Prost's, I thought it was unusual, but came to quite like it.

[@nathanstroud2223]

The McGuire would've been fine if the red and yellow stripes wrapped all the way around and met back up on the nose without extending to that tacked-on front wing. The Oceans Twelve livery is clunky, but the fact that it still has those Jaguar colors salvages it somewhat. It still looks good from the side on. I'd agree that the preseason livery for the MP4-29 was a bit uninspired. The chrome and black they eventually went with wasn't exactly stunning, but I did like the way the white outline of the McLaren logo looked on top of the black sidepods. My only gripe with the MasterCard Lola is that the Pennzoil logo is too small and gets lost in the sidepods. The colors fit right in with 90s F1. The RB3 didn't look good, but it's also one of those liveries that wasn't meant to be judged on aesthetics because that was set aside completely, kind of like the Ferraris post 9/11. The Alpine livery w/ green looked half-baked, and I didn't even know what the significance of it was supposed to be at the time. I don't have anything bad to say about the others on this list.

[@LawVS]

For me at least, the new Chrome Mclaren has 2 factors that hold it back. 1. The original Vodafone chrome livery was so good 2. The current season standard livery is by and far my least favorite on the grid. Those 2 factors combine for a livery that could have been cool that was just kind of let down by both nostalgia for the past, and a bad base template.

Another bad one-off/testing liveries which I would add: Honda 2006 Chinese GP - 555 logo is too big, it's done worse than the 2005 BAR livery at Chinese GP, which is ok and I dont hate it. Alfa Romeo 2022 Azerbaijan GP - No, that green doesnt work. Red Bull 2023 USA GP - We don't know yet which of the 2 will Red Bull use, but in my opinion both options are terrible. BAR 2004 Chinese GP practice livery for Davidson - It would be great to have 555 blue-yellow livery, but not this one, what is that massive 555 logo and yellow on the front?

Mclaren kept the chrome in 2015 for few races. It was terrible SF1000 was a bad take and I cannot agree, the overall livery was just weak with how barren it looked, the 1000GP banner helped with occupying a blank space on the airbox which would usually be occupied by the Mission Winnow logo which just annoyed me throughout the season at least Ferrari rectified it back in 2019 with the 90 years one. Glad to see I’m not the only one that thinks of the Castrol Alpine livery that way. One worst one I can think of is one that wasn’t raced in it’s revealed form, the Red Pig for the W13, which they scrapped due to bunk superstio-I mean, weight restrictions.

More money than sense.

[@ryantitus3394]

ngl the mclaren chrome livery didn't really hit the spot for. the chrome just doesn't go as well with the papaya as it did with the red

[@LawVS]

Perhaps when we see it on track it'll look better.

[@ryantitus3394]

@@LawVS hopefully, cause I'm a huge fan of the Vodafone chrome livery (good days)

[@jayjustjay7871]

I wish you didn’t count test liveries

[@LawVS]

They count as one-offs. Also thanks to BAR, One-off liveries were tightened due to their defiance with their 1999 designs.

[@therig1339]

MP4-29 test livery is clean and simple.. i actually liked it. I never liked the force india cars.. they never looked quiet right to me.

[@LawVS]

In isolation, it looks OK; but when you compare it to what it was the year before, it looks very bare.

[@therig1339]

@@LawVS indeed it is bare .. but the car overall looked clean and sleek.

[@ierbutza21]

See the media & most people agree with me on the "chrome" livery,also they are right that Zak needs to go,the direction McLaren went with him is poor.Atm they are the strangest team cause i dont understand what they want long term besides social media hype.

[@LawVS]

They're adapting to younger audience as are the likes of Alpine, Alfa Romeo and even Red Bull. It's just a sign of the times.

[@ierbutza21]

@@LawVS well rip F1 then,teams turning into mobile social media adverts & not racing machines.

[@RenoF1]

the 2021 white red bull, i never liked it and never will

[@LawVS]

Interesting. What about it aren't you so keen on?

[@me-zb7qm]

The Alfa testing livery gives me the heebie jeebies. Looks like a bunch of crawling insects on a white plastic bag.

[@LawVS]

I forgot about it before researching this video.

[@Supersonic150]

Glad im not the only one who didnt like the Mugello 2020 Ferrari livery, while i understand why they choose that color, it could have been made a lot better with older logos or something else i dunno, plus the color reminds me of red beets, and i HATE red beets XD

[@LawVS]

If they went the whole hog with classic sponsor logos and no "1000" on the airbox, it could've been lush.

[@Supersonic150]

​@@LawVSYeah or if they really wanted to put some sort of 1000GP logo on it, atleast make seem old school or something

[@madmaxx2310lac]

Replace monza 2022 ferrari with the 1000th gp! Those yellow parts were god awful!

[@LawVS]

The 2022 Ferrari Monza could've done with more yellow

[@kabweee7288]

I was reading a reddit post and F1 fans seem to hate Drive to Survive. What are your views? (I got into F1 with DTS)

[@LawVS]

DTS has a place in the world of Formula 1 for sure. I watch when it comes on but I take it with a pinch of salt, but it's been vital to F1's survival for younger fans and adapting to modern tastes and consumption of media. However, they need to stick more to the truth and not embellish as much as they did in Season 4. Season 5 was better but it could be better. But overall, yeah it's alright.

[@OskarasNauseda]

i like ferarris burgandy color its just little diferent then bright red of ferarri with these hits of yellow that 1000 could have been put on a fin more acuratly

[@LawVS]

It's from their 125S, their first own-brand car outside of Alfa Romeo.

[@OskarasNauseda]

@@LawVS i figured it out

[@alieffauzanrizky7202]

Of all these livery, there's nothing worse than a blue ferrari

[@visuallemonade6119]

I quite liked the blue ferrari

[@LawVS]

Ah yes, the NART.

personally love that Marlboro light livery

Fair enough! I'm glad you like it.

[@JJJackson777]

@@LawVS i'm glad you showed it off, i'd never seen it before!

[@sonoio7055]

Personally,i loved the F1000 but the only thing i dont like Is the numbers of the drivers,the shape 2021-like,instead i didnt like the White Red bull of 2021,It Just looks like a can of Winter Edition but i loved the suits

[@LawVS]

I think if the SF1000 had that number on the airbox removed and had classic logos for the sponsors, it would have been great...just a half-baked design.

[@sonoio7055]

​@@LawVSyeah,you are kinda right,It could have still been better

[@MuchoVarvato]

the silver force India of 2017... it just looks like someone stuck some cardboard on top of the engine cover ans sprayed it silver 😅 also the red and silver mercedes they did last year to celebrate some touring car anniversary? I don't remember if they raced it but the show car looks awful! Also... I agree with you on the 2020 ferrari... how can a team as italian as ferrari make such a collosal f**k up with their 1000 gp livery? ah yes... because they are ferrari...

[@LawVS]

They just needed to at least remove the 1000 on the airbox.

[@MuchoVarvato]

@@LawVS absolutely!

[@OB25F1]

The red bull Miami livery 🤮🤮

[@LawVS]

It was a little minimal.

[@jkkellerj5]

The yellow Ferrari from last year 🤮

[@LawVS]

It was a missed opportunity. The whole car should have been yellow.

[@randomchannel323]

Agreed with the sf1000 looking ugly

[@LawVS]

It could be alright without that garish 1000 glyph.

[@richrdbarryvanschalkwyk4012]

I kinda like the blue grey RB

[@LawVS]

It's a decent design but on a car, it's a little bare.

[@bungieman2810]

HOT TAKE: I really don't like the darker burgendy red that Ferrari has been using. The lime on the wheels also doesn't sit well with me.

[@LawVS]

Fair enough. I like its historic connection but it could've gone further.

[@elaldo2382]

I have never been a fan of the old chrome livery so I was delighted they kept the papaya on it!

[@LawVS]

I think this is a fair combination of the two livery styles.

[@salmanfarruz]

I disagree with most of this, coz I believe race cars should be colourful like INDYCAR and NASCAR. 1

[@LawVS]

Oh well, thank you for your time!

[@joaquinalonso3388]

Unpopular opinion: I like every single livery McLaren has released since 2018. Papaya liveries may not be slayers, but they're pretty decent anyway. I totally agree with the SF1000 livery, that yellow 1000 and the other sponsors look like vomit. I didn't remamber how bad were that Jaguar and Red Bull liveries. I would also add the Coulthard's last race one that was really confusing and his race ended in the first lap. Another ones I hated due to the lack of effort were the black Renaults from 2016 and 2020, and of course, the BWT pink Alpine from 2022.

[@LawVS]

It's good to see them at least use their original colour.
