In terms of paintwork, which is your favourite? Obviously they all look really cool, but I really like the McClaren for it's highly polished, high tech looking silver. Followed by yellow renault, then redbull, then williams.
Worst looking for me are BMW Sauber-Ferrari and Force India. Ferrari also look decidedly average.
 
Best looking car this year is the Renault, imo. Virgin is very ugly this year, I think. I quite like hte new simple ferrari.
 
Renault and Lotus this year look good. Agree with Mclaren 'tech' looking car. Worst looking is Sauber by far.
 
I'm not keen on McLaren's nose cone, but their paint job is the best. The Renault this year looks great, although my favorite car was the 2008 McLaren.

McLaren
Renault

I don't think the 2010 Sauber is that bad really. I agree with the Renault being the nicest though, it's a great looking car. I don't particularly like the look of the Red Bull, but it works well. Before 2009, cars were pretty aesthetically un-pleasing because of all the aero add-ons, until you get back to the '90's really. Some cars of that era were really nice, similarly with some of the 80's, but 70's were not great imo, though the oldest (50's-60's) are almost works of art in some respects, but that's all a matter of perspective! Some may argue the 2007 downforce machines are art, I don't deny it, but they're not pleasing to me, subjectively.

That's great. Unfortunately, the picture he posted wasn't of the 1992 Ferrari. That would be the 1990 Ferrari 641. So what has the '92 Ferrari got to do with anything?
 
i lol at some old f1 cars the aero dynamics were totally off, you could do better by hand with a sketch pad with todays general knowledge of how airflow works
