The nine best F1 cars of all time 

F2004.

F2004

F2004

F2004 and Mercedes W11, for sure

Where's the Lotus 49? With the introduction (and slim design around) the innovative Cosworth DFV V-8, the winningest and longest winningest F1 race engine (1967 - 1982). Lotus 49: One of or the best looking F1 car ever. The DFV also birthed a super successful dominant turbo Indy version. Where are the Auto Union & Mercedes Benz mid-1930's monsters? 200 mph. 640 hp. lots of 'air'. Wildly more power than controllability. Auto-Union: 1st mid-engined Grand Prix racer. How abut an Honorable Mention for Colin Chapman's 1978 ground effects cars? Lotus 79.

F2002 = 15/17 races in 2002 and it had a few initial races in 2003. F2004 = 14/17 races in 2004 Numbers

Ferrari ces de la merde

@@pablobarrera7613 the f2004 had 8 1-2 finishes and the f2002 only had 5

well id say either the '88 McLaren the '20 Mercedes or the '04 Ferrari probably in order if I'm correct...

Or the F2004

@@oracle5200 the '20 mercedes was the fastest f1 car ever produced period, so i'd say that should put it on number1

Thank you

@@Celatra it wasnt WAY faster than all the other cars compared to some of the others. Yes it was the fastest ever but the difference isnt as big as some ofhers

YES!!!! The MP4/2 is an amazing car, it raced for 3 years and won 3 driver's titles. While everybody was trying to make the most epic qualifying engine in the mid 80's, and while everybody still talks about those one lap wonders, McLaren quietly said "No" to that and won the titles anyway.

because it wasn't driven in Goodwood yet, it's not legal to drive a F1 car before i turns 3 years old. That's why they've used W10 this year.

Too recent I guess

Can't beat that black & gold livery. I loved that car ever since i unlocked it in an f1 game on the ps2 when i was a kid.

Wich cars are you going to drive, besides the Williams and Renault?

@@sebonator3000 (Long list, I know lol) I’ve driven so far, the Lotus 25, 49, 72, 98T (70% boost was the only clean lap I could get), McLaren MP4/4, MP4/5B, MP4/6B, Williams FW14B, FW16, Ferrari 312, 312T, F187, 641, 643, F2001, F2004, and the Renault R25. I might be forgetting a few but that’s the bulk of them so far. Any ideas where I should go next?

@@Skydrag.V60 You could do the McLaren MP4/23, MP4/25, the BMW-Sauber from 2008 (i'm Polish, and a big Kubica fan), maybe the Lotus-Renault from 2012, and maybe even some backmarckers, like the 2012 HRT, the Spyker, or the 1994 Lotus, or even the monstrosity wich was the Andrea Moda or the Life (If they are available in AC of course)

@@sebonator3000 Nice choices! My internet went down so I can’t search for any mods right now but I’ll see if I can find them when I get the chance.

@@Skydrag.V60 Try some mid-1930's Auto-Union and/or Mercedes Benz, if the sim way will enable you. And the Bugatti type 35. Delage 1927....

Not really, in terms of percentage advantage most of the cars are actually from the '50s

@@aboredperson4202 Too few races to be a fair comparison, and the sport was at it's baby steps as well, with just rich folk driving the cars. It wasn't until the 80s where F1 started to get huge popularity and the cars really started to get the shape that we pretty much have today, and a lot more driver and team entries, and at least 15 races per season from there on.

If any other car deserves to be on this list, it's the M23!

Awesome, what scale do you build them?

McLaren M23, McLaren Mp4/2 and Lotus 72, all successful over multiple seasons. Although it's mot my favourite of those 3, the MP4/2 did win the driver's title in every season it was entered, so there's that.

@@crusherbmx We can actually debate on the subject, as always in cars, like about the best driver in history. The MP4/2 actually has the same number of titles as the Lotus 72 in total (3 drivers and 2 manufacturers, vs 2 drivers and 3 manufacturers), but the little extra that makes me designate the 72 as the most "iconic car " of the history is that it introduces a major overhaul of the architecture (thin nose, and aerodynamic optimization with redistribution of the location of the mechanical parts) whose model will continue for the next 20 years, with only minor changes (except for the introduction of carbon hulls, which is a major improvement). Until the advent of electronics (active suspension, engine management etc.). With a small parenthesis concerning the ground effect which did not last. This car has truly modeled the structure of the F1s that we will see later, up to the hybrids. It was a fantastic aid to the development of all the teams of the time, which moreover gradually optimized the concept while Lotus relied a little too much on this car for a long time. But it put a big boost in Formula 1 technology, arriving shortly after the first fins and the first thoughts around aerodynamics. It is for these reasons that I reserve a special place for it.

He's getting pretty close to the correct pronunciation. Ayrton's name was always butchered by English speakers. Just look up some Brazilian commentary F1 footage from Senna and you'll hear he's not far off.

I think that was the f2004, not f2002

that was 2004, sadly missed in this list....

you are right... in an attempt to gain more straight line speed he had the wings rermoved.

Life L190

@@Mini-cu6mk also the Andrea Moda sh*tbox

@@sebonator3000 at least that one managed to qualify for a race. The Life was usually around 20 seconds off the pace, and almost 5 minutes at Imola xD

@@Mini-cu6mk and also, I think in Mexico the engine cover flew off

@@sebonator3000 I know that happened at some point, I don’t know at which circuit it was

Dominant? Yes. Yet, not utterly dominant.

Yeah no, the 1967 Brabham also did that.

He said that you could pick any of Schumachers winning ferrari, which includes the f2004. The 2002 was more dominant

The F2002 won more races
