Are These F1's Ugliest Race Winning Cars?

As we saw in our Best Looking F1 Cars video, there have been some stunning F1 cars throughout the years. But there have been some we'd really rather not have to look at again...so of course we've made a video about them!

An ugly car doesn't necessarily mean a bad car though, as each of the cars in this list did manage to get at least one win under it's respective, unattractive, and ill-fitting belt.

From hideous raised noses to unsightly intakes to just plain ugly chassis, we take a look back through Formula 1's 70 years to uncover that you don't need engineering beauty to be a winner in F1.

I actually liked the Benetton B192 & B193 and think they looked purposeful and effective.

[Basti]

I don’t know why so much hate for the early 90s Benettons... such beauties

[rajabbas]

That 1996 Ferrari looks like something out of phineas and ferb

[mrmathh]

Am i the only one who thinks the b192 looks gorgeous with that yellow and green livery?

[jeshkam]

B192?? Come on guys, what's wrong with you?

[SparingArc]

I would argue that more than half of the cars on the list aren’t ugly at all.

[Flared]

Fun fact: The Benetton B192 was the last manual transmission car to win an F1 race.

I actually like the 1996 Ferrari. I like the nose they used early in the season and I like the car's low and wide proportions.

Am I only one who really likes the 2012 F1 cars especially the Williams FW34 a tribute to the rothmans liveries of the 1990s

Mercedes w196? I'm sorry are you drunk?

[MasterOfDickery]

B191 was the first high nose Benetton.

[aifrench]

I've always thought the B192 was a good looking car

[jacoja]

Why does everyone always attack the Williams FW26 nose? I always thought it looked badass, compared to the generic looks the other 2004 cars had.

[antoniobuccheri]

Am I the only one loving 2012 stepnoses?

[fredogknopfler]

I honestly like the FW26. I remember picking it always in the F1 '04 game because it had such a cool nose.

[Nik-dowd]

W196 was amazing to look at, and iconic, don't see it as ugly at all.

[zupperm]

Fernano Alonso deserves a medal for making the F2012 look good in racing.

[Dannzt]

I know im a minority on this but i like the f310. The low nose especially


Also, the b192 the first high nosed benetton? Cmon now, get your facts straight

[Leopardo_Bianco]

Correction. The first Benetton with a high nose was in 1991. Albeit lower than the b192, but still the first one.
