Your Favourite F1 car

    Ok,

    So this one might be for the more nerdy of us, but I thought it might be interesting to start.

    For me, I always liked the Williams FW18 - The one that Damon Hill won his world championship in. I'm not sure why I liked it, maybe it was because it was so far ahead of all the other cars technically and it was nice to look at with a nice paint job. I always kind of wished Williams had kept the Rothmans sponsorship as I loved the paint job on the car.

    Ferrari often bring out nice F1 cars too.

    I used to like the John Player Special Lotus as driven by Ayrton Senna in 1986, with the all black bodywork and gold lettering.

    The green and blue 7Up Jordan Ford 191 as driven by Bertrand Gachot till he knocked lumps out of a London taxi driver (not while driving this car you understand).

    Lotus 49 as pictured above (in GPL hehe) and Ferrari of the same year are two of my favs.

    Somthing about the ferrari 412T always appealed to me too:

    For me its the FW-17 and the EJ197 AND EJ199, they are the 1995 Williams, and the 1997 and 1999 Jordan. Happy memories of watching them

    Cant find the pixs to hand but always liked;

    1994 Ferrari - moved back to 'nice' red (no more two tone)
    1993 Sauber - pretty much all black

    Also, the Ferrari used after Sept 11 with no advertising was a pretty amazing looking car:
