- Controversial opinions ahead! Formula 1 is a sport full of incredible machines and dedicated drivers. Some of those machines though, were a lot more effective at what they were designed to do than others. We've pulled together a list of the best F1 cars of all time, measured by win percentages and the records that they had as racing machines.
We won't put them in any kind of order, these are just the nine that stand out to use the most from the history books:
McLaren MP4/4
Alfa Romeo Alfetta
Ferrari 500
Ferrari F2002
Mercedes-AMG W07
Red Bull RB9
Lotus 72
Williams FW14/B
McLaren MP4/2

Go on, what did we miss?
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.
Legends, all of them. But in terms of pure dominance, it has to be the ‘88 McLaren
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
What about the Ferrari F2004? That car easily dominated the whole season and was far ahead of its rivals.
What about the Mercedes W196 (Fangio & Moss) and W05? Arguably, the W05 from 2014 was far more dominant in performance than the W07. The W05 could have won all races in 2014 while the W07 was clearly slower than Ricciardo's Red Bull in Monaco that year. If you look at pure performance you could even include the W11 which has been the fastest car in F1 history in terms of lap times.
If you leave these cars out, then there is no reason to include the Red Bull RB9 in this video. Sure, it was great in Vettel's hands but if you include the results of Mark Webber, then the car doesn't look that great to me. In comparison, Schumacher/Barrichello and Hamilton/Rosberg usually finished the races with a 1-2 on normal race weekends.
Ps. I just checked which car holds the record for most 1-2s in a season. It's none of the cars above. It's actually the lesser known Mercedes W06 from 2015 which had an astonishing 12 1-2 finishes in 19 races. Even in terms of percentage, that's more succesful than the MP4-4. That's 63.16% of all races for the W06 (12/19) vs. 62.50% of all races for the MP4-4 (10/16)).
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
Jochen Rindt was sadly killed in a crash at MONZA not MONACO as stated in this vid.
And the Mercedes Hybrid PU does not have a displacement of 1,5 Litres...
McLaren MP4/2: five world championships and 25 GP victories! Finally someone appreciates what a stellar F1 car it was.
It's competitors are the Lotus 72 (five world championships and 22 victories) and Ferrari 312T (five world championships and 17 victories*).
*if one was to count the 312T - 312T5 as one car, it is the most successful at seven world championships and 27 victories. However, the 312T3 and the ground effect 312T4 / 312T5 were radically different chassis, and should therefore, in my opinion, be regarded as a different car.
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.
the W11 is literally the fastest f1 car of all time, how is it not on this list lol
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.
I feel like Sebastian Vettel didn't get the respect he deserved for what he achieved in the Red Bull RB9. When he secured his 4th consecutive title at the Indian Grand Prix that year, Martin Brundle delivered a thinly veiled discrediting of Vettel while he was celebrating with Adrian Newey:
"They have an amazing talent, and he doesn't have blonde hair,"
Much like Lewis Hamilton in more recent times, it doesn't matter that he had access to the best car on the grid, the driver still has to make the best use of it. Mark Webber also had use of that car in 2013 and he went winless in his final season yet Vettel won 13 times in it (yes Malaysia 2013 was and still is controversial, but officially it still counted).
Yes, nobody likes to see the same driver winning week in week out (neutrals anyway), but to outright dismiss the inputs of the driver and shift the credit to the designer is unfair
That McLaren MP4/4 has to be the most beautifully designed F1 car of my lifetime. It ticks all the boxes. There's nothing fussy about the design, it just looks like an F1 car. And it cleaned up with Senna at the wheel.
Perfect. I was just doing my own “best F1 car” test at the Goodwood Circuit in Assetto Corsa.
So far, the Williams FW16 takes first with the fastest time of 56:629 followed very closely by the Renault R25 with a 56:704. Insanity.
Wich cars are you going to drive, besides the Williams and Renault?
@@bigklamoty2137 (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)
@@bigklamoty2137 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....
The fact thet the F2004 and the W11 aren't in this list is very intriguing
Mercedes W05, W06, W07, W11
Red Bull RB7
Ferrari F2002. F2004
Williams FW14B, FW15C
McLaren MP4/4
In terms of cars with the greatest advantage over the field, these are the top 10 most dominant/best cars in the history of the sport.
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.
what about the Mercedes W11 from 2020? Lewis himself had more points than the two Red Bulls combined in that season
Too recent I guess
The Lotus 72 in JPS livery is the most beautiful of all the F1 cars imho...
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.
Rindt was killed at monza not monaco
There are so many mistakes in the W07 vid, they didn't win 2 races not 3, and the engine in 1.6 litres not 1.5
Excellent list. I would add a 10th: the 1978 Lotus 79.
McLaren M23 World Champion with Fittipaldi (1974) and Hunt (1976), run in official team in 1973, 74, 75, 76; run with unofficial team in 1977 and 1978, first F1 car for Gilles Villeneuve, Nelson Piquet and Bruno Giacomelli.
If any other car deserves to be on this list, it's the M23!
Shamingly, GW forgot to mention MCLAREN M23. McLaren's car that won 2 drivers title by Emerson Fittipaldi and James Hunt. The M23 is, without no doubt, one of the most agile and driver friendly-race car.
I love the fact that an FW 14b with a red 5 is in Seb's toy collection....a real one, though.
F2004 should be here, it’s the car what people think of when they hear “F1”
The most revolutionary and in my opinion the most beautyful is missing: Lotus 79
Rindt died at Monza, not Monaco.
The best F1 is the one who won the most championship, so the Lotus 72 (3 constructors and 2 pilots).
No only she did that, but it was a major evolution of the F1 architecture.
The last major evolution before hybrids.
For these reasons, the lotus 72 is really the most iconic F1 of all time.
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.
Yes, I had two FW14b toys - a Bburago 1/24 and a Scalextric car too.
I've made replica models of both the MP4/4 and the Alfa 158 - I'd very much like to build some of the others on this list, too!!
Awesome, what scale do you build them?
I think the best F1 car has to be one which had to fight against the strongest opponents.
For me, that has to be a significant factor for any assessment.
Even though it only did 1 race I’d say the Brabham fan car would be a contender for this
You missed the one car that has a 100% win record, the Brabham fan car.
Please, allow me to correct: Jochen Rindt's fatal accident took place in Monza, not in Monaco. Great video!
No Lotus 72? The car competed in six seasons, won the constructor's championship three times, and produced two world champion drivers.
RB18 is on here now Max was amazing in 2022 just dripped confidence (when a driver is confident it's over)
Wonderful video. This is the ultimate list, definitely. But Rindt was killed in Monza and not Monaco.
Great video. However, Rindt was killed at Monza, not Monaco.
I just came across this video on the day Max Verstappen won his 14th race of the 2022 season. Surely this list will have to be done again and the RB18 will be on it.
Where is the Lotus 78?
Mansell quialified on pole, but not in all but one race, they were 3 actually: Monaco, Canada and Hungary.
I would add the Brabham BT53 because it was the first turbo F1 car to win the world championship with Nelson Piquet plus it simply looks like a missile on wheels!
Great video, however I believe Rindt suffered his crash at Monza not Monaco? To my knowledge.
The W11 has joined the discussion
I can’t remember if it was the FW14 specifically, but I know Williams had developed a CVT and it got banned after testing before it could ever be in a real race. But could you imagine the dominance if they had the automatic suspension and the CVT?
Solid list, together with some unconventional choices, i like it! Facts-wise the video isn't 100% accurate, let's put it at that.
The F2002... if I remember correctly, the car was so fast when Michael and Rubens first tested it, they were sure something was wrong. The team pored over the car endlessly to find what it was, but it really just was that fast.
I think that was the f2004, not f2002
that was 2004, sadly missed in this list....
Mercedes that Fangio and Moss raced. Many Lotuses including Jim Clark winning every counting race in the season. If you go back further the Alfa with supercharged 1.5 litre V8 getting g over 400hp. Stopping for petrol every few laps and still winning by laps
All legends😮
Unforgivable to leave out the Lotus 25 and 78. I would also have included the 49 and the Ferrari 312T. Then, there is the Mercedes W196 & Maserati 250F!
While it's legitimately one of the greatest F1s ever, it feels a bit unfair that the lotus 72 can claim 3 titles while it has had evolutions. If you go that way, there are F1 car "dynasties", in a sense. The FW14 is the point of origin of a line of cars which you may easily extend all the way up to the FW19, if not the FW20. The F2002 itself is the 2nd from a line that goes from 2001 to 2007, preceded by another which went from 1997 to 2000. The same point could be made for a slew of championship-winning Mercedes cars ending in 2021.
The Lotus 72 should have won in 1973 (it won the most races, 7). Lotus switched to Goodyear tyres, which favoured Peterson. Although Fittipaldi won 3 of the first 4 races, that was it, and Peterson did not start winning until the French GP, which was too late to stop J Stewart.
My Top 10 F1 Cars:
1st JPS Lotus Renault 98T was the sexiest F1 car ever built.
2nd Camel Lotus Honda 99T
3rd Marlboro McLaren Honda MP4/4
4th JPS Lotus Ford Cosworth DFV 72E
5th Elf Team Tyrrell Ford Cosworth DFV 006
6th Elf Team Tyrrell Ford Cosworth DFV 003
7th Matra MS120C
8th Marlboro McLaren Honda MP4/5B
9th Benetton BMW B186
10th Renault R.S. 17
McLaren MP4/2
In 1984 the FIA banned refuelling turning F1 into a fuel economy formula. This meant that many of the races saw competitors running slow in order to save fuel and finish the race. When you read race reports of the period, the Renault powered cars would begin fuel saving almost as soon as the lights went out. The McLarens had an advantage. With their sportscar experience, Porsche were able to design a fuel efficient engine. The McLarens could just run at such a faster pace than their competitors and still finish the race.
This car is an unsung hero!
Rindt lost his life at Monza not Monaco. I think it was a practice session I might be wrong on that part.
you are right... in an attempt to gain more straight line speed he had the wings rermoved.
They omitted the fabulous Lancia D-50 of 1954! It was the most advanced car of the era, even better than the Mercedes.
My personal favourite has to be the Lotus 98T
The TEN best F1 cars of all time (including the F2004). Fixed it.
What is the name of the background music/track?
Everybody seems to miss the MP4/2 on these type of lists, so points for including it, it's right up there, it OWNED the mid 80's. NOW.....what about the McLaren M23?
Lotus 72 should be on the top
How about the Brawn BGP 001?
Mercedes have spent nearly a decade with the most dominant car in F1 history. Come on, guys. At least acknowledge that fact.
Better add the RB 18 to this list
How can you leave out the Tyrell 003?
How about the worst F1 cars of all time?

the FW11, If it wasn't for Goodyear tyres not being safe then that car would have been first and second in the championship. and Lotus 79 should be here.
But more importantly, Rindt died at Monza not Monaco, and Lotus was the first to build a carbon fibre chassis. and unlike McLaren, Lotus built it themselves whereas McLaren had theirs made by a contractor in the USA because they couldn't make it themselves.
Rindt was killed at Monza, not Monaco
10:56 what track is this?
The V10 period was the time of the fastest F1 cars ever, though!
I thought his name is Ayrton, where did you get I rton, from?
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.
No mention of ground effect, hmmm
nice when ferrari’s look red insead of slightly pink
you missed the Lotus 79
MP4/4 has an unfair advantage. No other car here has the best TWO drivers in the world at the time driving them alongside each other. Imagine the F2002 or F2004 with Michael and Mikka piloting.
For me, the McLaren MP4-4 and Ferrari 641 are THE prototypical Formula One cars.
When I think of what an F1 car looks like, I think of those two cars. Legends.
However, the most beautiful-looking Formula One car of all time is the Brabham BT52....just sayin.

Why is there no mention of the ferrari F2004/2004. Seriously this lost cannot be complete without that legendary car.
He said that you could pick any of Schumachers winning ferrari, which includes the f2004. The 2002 was more dominant
