A black flag for that one! John Watson did more than enough in that car to unrejectify it.

Alright I decided to remove my 5th pick altogether. I made a mistake. haha

My picks (there's no particular order, and I tried to avoid repeating your picks)

5. March CG911C (Australia '92, Lammers' car)


4. Manor MRT05


3. AGS JH24 (1990)


2. Minardi M197


1. Footwork FA12 (I prefer the 1993 FA13B, but it isn't rejectful enough)

Has been my favourite since I saw it on the track.

My Top 10
I may have missed some older classics, but these are mostly from newer seasons as well as seasons that I re-watch from time-to-time.



I became a Caterham fan because I loved their colour scheme. I stayed a Caterham fan because they were endearingly shite.



If their aerodynamicists were as gifted as their livery designers, HRT would have been serial title challengers.



And this, not the whole many-different-winners-in-a-row thing, is why 2012 was such a great F1 season. What a trio of liveries.


It drove like shite, but at least it looked cool doing it.


A most simple and beautiful car. Shame it spent so little time on-track.


This, McHonda, is an orange and black F1 car.


It's not simple, or especially beautiful, but I love it all the same.


Never forget.


Scientists may never explain quite why this livery is so beautiful, but it is.


I really wish this car got more airtime in the old 1994 races I sometimes watch. Not that I blame the director.

Honourable mention:

What a gorgeously classy livery they made here, only to then desecrate it with Mallya's booze brands.

Hi, here is my top ten

10- Tyrrell 024 (1996)


Nice livery, but the lack of more colour put it in 10

9- Minardi m 191 (1991)


Good effort from the perennial backmarkers of the 90s

8- Supa Aguri SA08A


I like the white and red combo, but the touch of black make me choose this livery from the team with the best name ever

7- Leyton House cg901 (1989)



Light blue and green??? yeah!!!!

6- Prost AP02 (1999)



Blue, pure class, the french elegance (the engine... sacre bleu!!!)

5- Arrows A19 (1998)



I really really really like black cars, and this it's beatiful, and i don't want to choose the Andrea Moda

4- Simtek S941 (1994) without sponsors



This livery its brilliant!!!!! But missed the podium because of the awful sponsors

3- Manor MRT05 (2016)



Very nice livery, the colours are balanced, the black part it's classy, and the logo hinted in the engine cover it's perfect

2- Arrows A20 (1998)



This is the perfect example of a livery based on a sponsor (in a reject car, obviously!)

1- Caterham CT05 (2014)



The emerald green it's gorgeous, the black wings are impressive,and the nose was disgusting!

Spirit's swansong livery from 1985. Guess what inspired the 2016 Manor livery...

Apologies for the resurrection.
