What year would you like me to cover next?
2005 would be a good shout as I personally don't think there are any major misses that year aside from the colourless Minardi.
My earliest memories of F1 cars are the first two you mentioned: The Rothmans Williams and the Sauber C15. I hope Sauber will bring back these colors after Alfa Romeo has left and before Audi takes over.
I feel that they'll keep the Black and Red as these colours are currently the Audi ones; maybe with some added silver accents here or there. This two-season transition isn't really a full Sauber revival...but I'd love to see a tribute livery for their last race.
Love this channel with videos that are simple on the surface but presented in way that actually uses your obvious historical and current knowledge to create a thoroughly entertaining watch. Your enthusiasm also radiates through the screen to the viewer. The lack of a hyper-professional studio-like environment is really refreshing in the F1 TH-cam space.
Thank you, Ricky! I try my best. :)
Man you are underrated as hell with the video style you must be poppin off right now hope you reach it soon
Thanks, pal! I try my best.
How has your channel not blown up yet man!??!
It's not a guarantee and I'm ok with how things are right now. :)
Sooner or later your channel will get big! Keep up the great work....Wishin U the best
Thanks, Jacob. I'm ok with it happening gradually. :)
Totally agree with you on the Minardi that year, its one of my all time favourite liveries
Those lime green wings really made it pop
Indeed. I didn't pay it much mind when watching my 1996 review DVD, but when I was thinking about it when studying Minardi's liveries a few months back, then looking through my books, it's such a nice livery. On a modern car, this would pop.
The '96 cars had a look that reminds me of the cars in the Wipeout games - so there's like a weird nostalgia hit for me whenever I see them (despite me being 2 in 1996).
Also, the Parmalat logo was pretty much everywhere pre-collapse of the company in 2003, so again, childhood memories right there.
I would agree with you there. Also the Saturn Wipeout game is where I saw Red Bull for the first time. I think in 1995 is where they really pushed for young demogrpahics.
@@LawVS Given Sony Europe's marketing for the PS1 as the "hip and cool" console in the 90s, that's likely, I remember the techno music in the demo discs and the advertisements on magazines back then.
That Minardi is definitely underrated.
Btw Gauloiases is pronounced GO LOU AS
Thank you, Reddy! I was never quite sure.
What wasn't ugly was the beautiful relationship between Burger and Alesi, finally getting their biggest career opportunity to drive in the fastest car together...then realising they arrived at the wrong time again.
Yeah, that's what I feel Carlos and Charles are. :)
@@LawVS I feel like they're both going to get turfed out to midfield teams unfortunately in the next couple of years (unless one of those teams like Audi end up being a future challenger). Ferrari is just not a great environment to be in.
It is if you're doing well...but if you fall off, you fall hard
The cockpit changes where actually made after the 1995 Australian GP, Mika Hakkinen had a tyre failure, & was saved with an emergency tracheostomy by the late great Professor Sid Watkins!
Of course who could forget panis famous victory in that very chaotic monaco gp of 1996
Oh yes, that's a classic and well done for him and Ligier.
@@LawVS indeed
Enjoy your holiday m8
To me, that Ferrari looks like a big armchair😂
I'd love to lounge in it, but to race it...maybe not. It was a legacy design and when John Barnard came in, he turned it around the following year.
I agree, and then we saw the potential it had, Thanks for Commenting!
With all due respect, I don't like primarily-gold liveries; they just come off as tasteless and tacky, and the Jordan 196 with the Total red on the airbox really doesn't help.
That's OK, Billy. No worries!
Sir, I'd like to politely disagree with you on the F310-A. I love that car because, and I know it sounds ridiculous, but it kinda looks like a battle spaceship for me; that and I love the color scheme Ferrari did with the car. It looked aggressive and pretty capable of going for the championship.
However, I do agree with you in the F310-B. By God, this was one of Ferrari's earliest Modern F1 mistakes. You said it was an F1 car with a double chin. I say it is the omen of what the 2014 cars would be like. Y'know... Because the front wing... it's... like that...
Fair enough! The F310 that year wasn't my cup of tea, but Michael Schumacher made it dance.
Those cars were something back in 1996. From then on the cars looked a bit better with each years but we still do have some bizzare designs like the nose of the BMW from 2004
It was an attempt.
Didn't know you also made F1 content!
Yep that's me!
What about Hakkinen nearly losing hid life in Adelaide for the same reason as Senna and Ratzenburger
That's very true. That was terrible also. 1994 started the change and 96 was when that was enhanced.
Glad you mentioned Forti's cack-handed use of Brush Script for their numbers. I hate that font even more than the rest of the world combined hates Comic Sans. If there's one font that screams "downmarket and tacky", it is Brush Script. I guess that didn't translate very well into Italian.
See also: Balloon and Mistral.
I feel that it's very 1992, so it was already outdated.
The Forti Shannon like the Tyrrell 026 were kinda boring but fascinated me alot as a kid
At least there was an effort for some sort of identity
1996 Benetton B196 was my favourite & still is my Favourite F1 car off all time i would love too buy the F1 team shirt too wear from that year in my size
It had some nice angles, but it needed to settle on one livery style and its nose was super massive.
Really interesting video idea
The Redbull Petronas mix doesn't look good together
It was iconic at the time and I suppose through nostalgia and familiarity it just worked.
I personally love the 1996 cars the noses remind me of the 2009-2011 cars which are my favourite f1 car designs, the 96 Ferrari being one of my favourites, I just really like the gold rims and the nose is unique! The gold Jordan also has a special place in my heart as I own a race used brake disc from one, I believe it was used sometime around Hockenheim. So I just really like these 1996 cars I think they all look good... apart from that B-spec Ferrari
Yeah less said about the F310/2 the better.
Some of the 96 noses were good but loads were so large and ungainly
Hey how come you aren't talking about Dragon Ball, never expected to click on a Masako video while going on a F1 binge lol.
This is my other hobby!
Petition for worst cars from 2012. Some of those are sickening
I shall add that to the list.
Most 1996 cars were ugly because Ayrton Senna died in a Williams at Imola in 1994. The FIA responded with a bunch of knee-jerk rule changes that were meant to slow the cars or make them more crash worthy. One of the rules was that the cockpit walls would be measured for thickness at appointed spots. Most teams, Benetton and Ferrari for example, acted on the spirit and the letter of the rules. The result was cockpits that looked like claw-foot bathtubs.
Williams, on the other hand, the very team whose car failed to protect Ayrton Senna's life, responded by putting bumps on their cockpit where it would be measured. That's why their car looked the best. That's also why they finally had the massive performance advantage necessary to turn Damon Hill into a world champion.
Usually with big rule changes these things occur and a new baseline is established. That being the Williams.
Now you have talked F1 cars from 90's and 2010's....
I think the 2000' s could be a good idea, '09 could be...
Huge contrast in the design, like Brawn GP, always a classic or the Renault... yuck...
It would be nice, but more individual season review livery is great content
I plan to cover 2008 and 2009
And I had the Green Forti as my favourite of that season! The Green, White and Red was an appealing combination. The Williams and Minardi complete the 1996 podium.
It's not a bad livery but the car was woefully underdeveloped
still better than some designs from some years ago
They have nostalgia backing them up
Boy i hate this era of F1 ,from the clean cars from the urly 90's to the again clean from the late 90's ,the safety changes took a while to get right.Also livery done right back then unlike today Black + whatever.
It's the same with every major rule change. Engineers have free rein and then when the best version is discovered it's a race to the bottom.
@@LawVS btw are you gonna talk in a video down the line about the crazy aero war?From the X wings all the way into the mid 2000's with the insane aero wings horns & whatever shapes the engineers could think at that time,cause for that + the 08 finalcial crash left F1 in a weird & strange era(lets not talk 14 & 15).
The Jota livery is literally the Jordan livery
Pretty much
FW18 needed a better yellow and otherwise is great...i say that abour most yellow cars on the list and or williams when they used yellow
Fair enough!
Let’s all agree that the current F1 cars looks so much uglier and worse than these cars
It's all a matter of perspective really.
@@LawVS true. I prefer the old F1 with the monster V8, V10, and V12 engines as well as NASCAR, IndyCar, Monster Trucks, drag racing, drifting, and karting
I think the Ferrari F310 is the cool version of 1992's F92A. For some reasons I happen to love their fighter jet look, so much so that I'd say they're my favourite Ferrari F1s, although the F92A was such a piece of sh*t on the track that I struggle to even consider it. To get back to the F310, I don't care if it was good or bad on track (it would have never equaled the F92A) but I think it's soooo good looking🤩. I like even the high headrest (I like to call it the Ferrari F31Alps for that reason) but freaking hell it went south when they introduced the other nose in the B spec. Real shame
Can't believe you rate the 83 Ferrari worse than the 96
It's incredibly close, just the disappointed feeling of the 83 just took it.
@@LawVS it's one of my favourite Postlethwaite designs, the livery is a bit of a downer
The arrows is good
The Arrows base livery is OK and could be very nice, but the sponsor placement is super distorted.
Williams’ Rothmans livery seems kinda boring to me, I don’t know but I kinda prefer the Rothmans livery on something like the Gr. C Porsches or the Gr. A BMW M3 E30
I still can’t get the whole shtick with Sauber, I find the blue and teal to be a bit garish and ugly especially with the Petronas lettering
Minardi feels weird, it’s alright but I don’t exactly feel it, it seems mismatched in a way
Ligier looks pretty classy, that’s all I can give
Nothing can really surpass Jordan’s 1991 livery imo, but the golden 1996 B&H design comes a close second, definitely. Another classy design
Tyrrell seems very bare and clumsy on sponsorship placement and then the Yamaha blue seems out of place
I sorta find the Marlboro-Mclaren era to be a _tad_ overrated, even then I don’t think it’s the best iteration
The Footwork-Arrows under TWR seems strange, even without sponsors the way the red sorta takes over the blue? Eurgh
The Ferrari was eh, I guess although the car itself kinda looks crap, the F310/B even more so
Oh god the Benetton is so messy, I cannot look at it without getting a semblance of a headache
Forti, I don’t know the original looks eh, the Shannon livery is ok but still…
I feel the Rothmans livery has been protected by nostalgia status but it's just so nice to look at.
But thanks for sharing your thoughts!
@@LawVS True, but again I don’t know about it on an F1 car, I had the same feeling with the Williams-Martini liveries as well
@@LawVS Also appreciate it, if there’s one aspect I like about F1 and motorsport it’s the liveries
Thanks for the f1 info but please let me out of your attic.
The door's always open, you know!
I really like the last Ferrari
That's fair enough...but at the time, it was such a bizarre response to the new regulations.
@@LawVSyeah its a bit odd, but I kinda like it. because from the side Looks like a shark, And from the front looks like a Fighter jet. with one of those plastic chairs on top.
Unlike recently, in this comment section Ferarri is first!
...nevermind. There was a Verstappen.
Oof.
you have overall very bad taste.
