Yeah Toyota lacked imagination but I dont really think they had to do much to that livery it was just so good in my opinion and I dont really think they needed to change anything to it
I liked the plain red and white of Toyota's 2001 test car (TF101). It lacked imagination (but then Ferrari's red is hardly setting a new livery trend every year), but as the video points out, it was at least a link to the sports car program from 1999.
Love the 555 BAR. Although i’m glad we ended up with that legendary Lucky Strike scheme, as I think it was one of the coolest designs of the early 2000’s.
I just absolutely love all of those special Red Bull liveries. Especially the black/white and blue/white ones. Such a shame we haven't seen them in a GP. Yet.
It makes me reminded of that one Red Bull livery (2019) where all the accents are red instead of usual colours (The body was still black, but the logos and stuff were red)
Mastercard Lola? It failed to qualify at the only race the team would attend, so technically you could say that livery never actually raced. Crap car but a good livery.
Williams Advanced Technologies has ties with Lotus due to their collab on the Evija. Hopefully Latifi buys a share off Lotus and rebrands the team into Lotus Williams Racing. The fusion of two racing legends.
My favourite is the SAP McLaren livery in 2014 testing times. That silver/black combination with the yellow SAP logo blowing in the sides was stunning.
it was´t at actual livery but i still remember (and love) the 1998 plain black ferrari that Schumacher used for a test in fiorano. That looked really cool, full black with the gold rims.
I like the St. Valentine's Day livery that Alfa Romeo Sauber launched with on 14.02.2018. Willliams have a habit of testing with a plain dark blue livery, sometimes featuring retro white number roundels. This year Renault ran a menacing all-black. Loved it! Whereas during Benetton-Renault off season they ran a white and yellow livery.
The 2019 red-and-black testing livery on the Red Bulls was amazing. It was an aggressively mechanical looking car with those boxy stripes and really stood out from the rest.
There was a stunning green and white Jordan that ran just before B&H came in, they also had the 191 in black for their debut season, thankfully it was replaced by the green and blue for that one. It is still one of the best designs for an F1 car.
The Renault 2006/'07 and 1999/2000 BMW testing liveries were truly stunning. Worth mentioning: Enzo Ferrari wanted his car to race painted in "giallo Modena" (Modena/Modenese yellow), but he was forced to paint them red because at time car manifacturers have to race under their superlicensing Federation's colour, which for the Italian ACI (Automobile Club Italiano, Italian Automobile Club) was the "rosso corsa" (racing red) Ferrari now is traditionally associated with. But the company's true official colour, still visible in the logo, still is "giallo Modena", a livery we unfortunately never officially saw despite having been the one originally thought by its founder.
flatoutflatbroke I think both the 1999 original BARs in 2 different liveries looked great, the zip looked wrong..... The BAR from 04/05 practice AD livery was great too
@@PHOENiXIlRiSiNG I liked the Lucky Strike livery but the 555 had the WRC provenance which just edged it for me. Agree seperately they'd have been a great pairing if allowed to compete like that.
Wow I never knew about these liveries (most of them anyway). Thanks for making this, I really enjoyed learning about the unused liveries the teams had made.
Absolutely loved the BAR 555 test car. I actually bought one of the pit crew shirts that were specially made for this race. Also, from BAR, their test livery in 2004, all black with silver branding of Honda and Lucky Strike, that would have made my list.
I always thought that particular Force India was really bland and uninspiring compared to the previous years. Way too much silver and way too little orange and green. I guess it was because the change to pink was already arranged, so they didn't bother to do it properly.
This was the year my daughter started watching F1 andd she supported force India because her faviourite colour was pink. I'm glad they had some good results that season.
Am I the only that hated the Silver Force India? They used to have that green and orange combo which was awesome, and their 2014 car was also really nice. But why silver? There was already Mercedes, and silver and orange is a horrible combination really
When Ferrari first tested the initial F300 for 1998 at the test track at Fiorano, it was in an all black livery. But when it hit the track for the opening race, it had the red of title sponsor Marlboro
I would've included Mercedes' original 2020 livery, before they changed it to black. I think the all-black livery worked great but man that 2020 launch design looked stunning
There are certain rivalries in F1 that were iconic, and the liveries mark them graphically. In the early 1970's the black Lotus vs. The blue Tyrrell, the early 1990's the orange (yes, orange) and white McLaren vs. The blue and yellow Williams, and in the 2000's the red Ferrari vs. The silver McLaren.
The all black and yellow racing #'s this year was pretty cool for renault. Also the snake skin alfa romeo was the best looking f1 car in the past 20 years I think
Funny the BAR liveries were the first thing that came to mind when I read the tittle but when it actually showed in #1 spot on the video I'd forgotten about it already :P
1997 or 8 Ferrari ran an all black car with a version of the stylised German flag from Michael's helmet on the airbox above his name. One that never happened was Minadi running a Hooters livery at Indianapolis. Apparently Stoddart was up for it but the FIA weren't (although Indy barred Hooters liveries from the Brickyard NASCAR races at times as well)
The original blue black and silver BAR test car. The black and white BAR 006 test car. The white and yellow test car that Renault used when they first returned to F1 in the early 2000s. The black and red Alfa Romeo. The all black Renault.
Toyota's paintjob was easily recognizable throught all seasons. And thats what u want. A car everybody can recognize from half a mile away. Plain simple and it looked timeless. Beside the silver arrow mclaren design in early to mid 2000 probably one of the coolest.
Why did Ron Dennis resist the idea to paint the cars orange? Since he bought McLaren F1 from Teddy Mayer in 1980 it was just a name over his own racing team - Project Four. That's why McLaren cars were named MP4/x from that time instead of Mx as they were always used to be. Since Dennis' resign McLaren codes their car like MCLx and embraced orange color.
The camo-bull looked absolutely stunning
Yeah so badly want red bull to have a season with it or use the 2018 and 2019 pre season practice liverys
Looks gorgeous, imagine a sneaker designed inspired by it
the red bull team in v8 supercars ran a one time camo livery a few years back
I liked red-blue livery, too
Those are to disguise bodywork in pre season
The dark blue renault is absolutely stunning
Exactly what I was thinking.
True
looks similar with the 90s williams
The dark blue Renault is so cool
IKEA
Yeah Toyota lacked imagination but I dont really think they had to do much to that livery it was just so good in my opinion and I dont really think they needed to change anything to it
Yea especially for me the last car in 09 with the new shape
I liked it, too.

Mercedez too..lacked of imagination livery.
Loved the brush strokes but this still made me laugh.

*williams* terminated the partnership
Well played

I wanna know which dentists were recommending an F1 car to the teeth in the first place....

That's like picking haas now. . .
@@1ma4ighter nothing wrong with that
@@1ma4ighterand it did happen right now... Toyota GR and HAAS with a Ferrari engine means a possible podium for Hulkenburg or K-Mag...

The all black renault this year looked absolutely stunning, its a shame they didnt keep ir for the rest of the season...
what season
Oblio1942 pre season this year
It was dull, I don't really get the hype behind all black cars, any car
@@OzwalR shhhh let the new fans have their fun
@@FRFM00 I like the black Renault, it reminded me of the Shadow DN5.

Love the 555 BAR. Although i’m glad we ended up with that legendary Lucky Strike scheme, as I think it was one of the coolest designs of the early 2000’s.
My number 1 would be the 2019 Red Bull Test livery, it just looks so beautiful.
It was awesome but i prefer the 2018 one with the blue.
I like the zebra themed livery
Came I meant camo
It does look cool but i personally prefer the black and white that they used before that
The Alfa Romeo Test livery of 2019
RIP Colgate livery 🙏
They could still keep it but remove the ROKiT and ABK BEER logo.
@@generalveers9250 They terminated their partnership with ABK too?
@@asharfirdaus4147 ABK Beer is owned by Rokit

Isn't Silver Force India just a Mercedes?
Isn't this years Racing Point just a Mercedes?
the silver looked sexy on '17 car
Nah!It's had Merc engine. Whereas RacpingPoint 2020 car is merc copy.
Racing point is never Force india😤. They never can.
Kim Yo Jong's Sandwich you did a funny! I approve 👍
Mastercard Lola? It failed to qualify at the only race the team would attend, so technically you could say that livery never actually raced. Crap car but a good livery.
And how many teams now would cry to have mastercard as a tittle sponsor
Barnaby Lee and yet it was MasterCard that basically forced that team to fade before it even stepped off the mark.
Mastercard told them they had 4 moths to make the car so yea
I think crap might be bit of an understatement
2004: Anthony Davidson (BAR Honda) at Monza
The seated driver livery is one of the most clever liveries ever!
Would have liked to see the current Williams design in the races
Why? It’s god-awful.
@@MacGovernor your opinion
Hopefully Williams will somehow survive.

the 2020 Renault test livery is pretty cool.
Renault looks like a banana that's going bad
@@Anatoli_Punto
LMAO good one :D
That silver Force India livery did live on in 2017 in a way though, as then academy driver Jehan Daruvala used it on his Formula 3 car that year.
I thought it will be the whole 2020 starting grid
Yeah...July 5th
the first 8 races are fix. they will almost certainly happen.
July 5th

those red bulls are so freaking sick, the should do pre season with their normal scheme and suprise us with such a slck scheme
Cool Video!
The first Force India (dark Red, White, Gold) was awesome!
You guys make some of the best f1 related videos out there! Very high quality videos! You are awesome!
Redless Redbull, ironic I know, are the most beautiful liveries I have seen.
Nothing gets close to silver arrows mclaren though.
What about the Rothmans Tyrrell of 1990 ?
I loved that livery
I always think about the 555 BAR livery because of how nice it is
The Renault 2006/'07 and 1999/2000 BMW testing liveries were truly stunning.
Worth mentioning: Enzo Ferrari wanted his car to race painted in "giallo Modena" (Modena/Modenese yellow), but he was forced to paint them red because at time car manifacturers have to race under their superlicensing Federation's colour, which for the Italian ACI (Automobile Club Italiano, Italian Automobile Club) was the "rosso corsa" (racing red) Ferrari now is traditionally associated with.

Nah, far too many winglets and cluttered aero parts on the 2007 and 2008 cars

The pink force India be like: ._.
I always thought that particular Force India was really bland and uninspiring compared to the previous years. Way too much silver and way too little orange and green. I guess it was because the change to pink was already arranged, so they didn't bother to do it properly.

My personal Top 3:
1 - 1997/2006 Orange McLaren Livery
2 - 2007 Dark Blue Renault Livery
3 - 2007 All Black Honda Livery
That 555 BAR Honda livery, oh my god, it is so gorgeous
The last one is my favorite.
Very beautiful the blue BAR.
That 555 BAR was stunning
alfa romeo's valentine's livery in winter testing of 2019 was epic. So was the snake livery in 2020.
the williams liverly looked stunning imo, sad it didnt get to race.
I love the camo bull to bits man, I wish they'd run that full time.
Damn some sweet cars! Love that infinity. Very impressive with the aerodynamics nowadays. And definitely take the pink car. Lol. Nice footage

The last year alfa Romeo test livery IS my favorite test livery
That Camo RB IS ONE OF IF NOT THE SICKEST LIVERY IN ALL OF MOTORSPROT
The pure black of the Saube4, with just the Mercedes badge in silver on it's nose that it ran in the 80 's loved ot
My top 3:
Red bull blue 2018 testing livery
Sauber 2019 testing livery
Silver Force India 2017
Yes, those livery's were beautiful
Alfa Romeo’s shakedown livery from 2019 was unreal 😍
That State 555 livery BAR used was absolutely gorgeous. We really should allow tobacco companies to sponsor freely again in F1.
2004 BAR third driver cars were really cool, especially the Monza practice livery
The all black and yellow racing #'s this year was pretty cool for renault. Also the snake skin alfa romeo was the best looking f1 car in the past 20 years I think
Am I the only one who actually likes the BAR 001 zipper livery? I've always loved it.
All around solid vid
What resource do y'all use to find photos?
Hands down 2019 Sauber Testing Livery
Love the old windows sound effects
The Toro Rosso at 7:54 looks beautiful!
The camo Red Bull cars was soo amazing
The 2018 red bull was already great looking, that black and yellow nose. The dark blue looks sick, the red one was not bad either
Funny the BAR liveries were the first thing that came to mind when I read the tittle but when it actually showed in #1 spot on the video I'd forgotten about it already :P
That 555 BAR was absolutely beautiful.
Nice video . I'm happy most of them colour schemes didn't race . I'd add the all black Ferrari from the the Schumacher days
Alfa romeo f1 2019 valentine's livery. That was beautifull.
Damn i wanted to watch that 2020 Rokit Williams Livery and also the 2017 Force India one.
The rokit Williams livery will always be one of my favorites. So damn clean

the 2015 and 2019 RBR liveries were awesome - so unbelievably dissapointed when they didn't race with it.
The all black Alfa Romeo Kimi was testing
Tell me if I’m wrong but if a sponsor terminates the contract,just remove their logo,it doesn’t require you to redesign the livery right
yes, you can just remove the logo, but most times another sponsor with another logo or color comes in.
The original blue black and silver BAR test car.
The black and white BAR 006 test car.
The white and yellow test car that Renault used when they first returned to F1 in the early 2000s.
The black and red Alfa Romeo.
The all black Renault.
The 98 Mclaren in Orange with black sponsors and rims. So simple, effective and so original Mclaren.
really loved the red bull 2018 test livery, that one was sick
The "light blue and yellow of the early 2000s" is a continuation of the 90s Benetton Look.
The Camo-Bull was the coolest!
The dark blue digital camo red bull is badass and should be used by alpha tauri imo ( because the actual red bull livery is pretty good as it is )
I really like the drinks-can Red Bull livery. I'm glad they've used it in other sports, I think it's quite handsome
2019 red bull test livery would’ve been amazing if they used it in races 🔥
The Camo Red Bull is amazing as a livery, would have loved to have seen that on the actual car.
I quite liked the Colgate livery! The bold geometric red blotch was kind of artsy
That’s so sad , that Williams livery was actually so 🔥🔥🔥
Toyota's paintjob was easily recognizable throught all seasons. And thats what u want. A car everybody can recognize from half a mile away.
Plain simple and it looked timeless. Beside the silver arrow mclaren design in early to mid 2000 probably one of the coolest.
That old Windows "TADA" sound at the beginning... Nice touch.
I think the black and dark red Alfa/Sauber has to be a strong contender but other than that, not much else springs to mind.
The blue and red camo honda red bull is amazing! Red Bull missed a trick there!
That silver Force India reminds me of the Hakkinen/Coulthard McLarens.
Why did Ron Dennis resist the idea to paint the cars orange? Since he bought McLaren F1 from Teddy Mayer in 1980 it was just a name over his own racing team - Project Four.

I think the best example of never raced liveries was the several paint jobs Williams did to comemorate their 30 years of racing in 2008.
Amazing how similar red bull looks today to that 1995 sauber. Such a long running design
