MP4-8 is stunning
To do something well is so worthwhile that to die trying to do it better cannot be foolhardy. It would be a waste of life to do nothing with one's ability, for I feel that life is measured in achievement, not in years alone. ― Bruce McLaren

The Jordan 191 always gets mentioned as being among the most beautiful F1 cars ever (and rightly so!). But I love this version of the 191 used in pre season testing that year

For me, the Ferrari F2008 (and F2007 as well) is one of my favorite F1 cars. Something about all that crazy aero is really attractive.

Oh I love that photo! Not particularly a fan of the car, but it's a great shot. Reminds me of standing at Barcelona trying to get a photo of Vettel going through the grid box and start finish line.

For me, for pure aesthetics, this is a step too far. If you look at the 2006 and 2004 cars over on the last page, there's something so much cleaner about them (for me, that is; no doubt the 2007/8 cars are striking though).

Still, interesting also the effect that success has on one's perception: I completely ignore the f2005! Is it because it's less attractive? Probably not. More likely it's because the car was uncompetitive.

quite a tight and skinny car actually, if you think away all the extra 'wings' on there [around the sidepods etc].

The 1964 Ferrari 158 looks elegantly simple. Nothing beats old school cars. It may not outrun modern F1 cars but for me, it is definitely the beast during its time.
