Here are the ugliest cars of ALL the current teams for reference: th-cam.com/video/oYFmRw5d9y0/w-d-xo.html Thanks to Blakesedit for clarifying the E22 tusks, they were ruled out by the FIA for 2015...probably for the best.
Perhaps for a future video you could do something along the lines of "The best cars of every F1 team in 2008". It's my favorite era for F1 cars, the complex aerodynamics are just stunning and the cars themselves looked so nimble
Unpopular opinion: The F14-T is one of the more beautiful cars this year, i even have a model of the car standing in my bedroom. This may be my Ferrari bias though..
I kinda like the Lotus! The asymmetric nose was necessary because of the regulations not because of some aerodynamics advantages. The best one for me is the Red Bull, was actually a really beautiful car, also the livery is so cool with that purple. The Toro Rosso is by far the ugliest. Now you have to do the same video for the 2012 season!
@@LawVS The specific regulation that the nose needed the asymmetry for was the crash tests; the telemetry sensors for the crash test machinery couldn't detect the point of impact measurements very well due to a lack of initial single focal point when the even-length tusks were put under load.
I have some nostalgia from these appendages; it was the year I first came into contact into F1 lel Also, one thing left unnoticed was the Catherham nose from the Belgian GP onwards; they came out with an much more smoother design.
It definitely makes for a chuckle at least, but my goodness...at the time, it was a shock! The second Caterham was a smoother looking thing, but I still think it has charm.
hot take: I really like the look of the 2014 caterham. it looks different and angry and angsty. It sure as hell didn't work but i love it for being different. and i love the busy front wing.
Those 2010's attempts to lower the nose heights definitely led to some design solutions which for me definitely screamed 'Malicious compliance'. I remember going into 2014 thinking 'Okay, lower noses, so they'll be like the 2009 Brawn, cool... Oh. Okay, Never mind, was Bernie sharing his blue pill stash by accident?' (Apologies for the mental image there... Sincere apologies) For anyone interested, Raian F1 did a pretty good job explaining why those noses wound up as they did, but I'm glad these were abandoned shortly after
I knew that i was recognizing this voice from somewhere. I think i watch DBZA since 2013 Hahahhaah never knew you were an f1 fan too. Cheers from brazil.
I would like you to do something along the lines of this with the 2009 season. I think there are some dramatically ups and downs for cars that season. I love the Red Bull and Ferrari for example. But Force India and Renault are horrendous imo. Could be interesting
Mercedes bent their nose, Ferrari either welded their nose downwards or the car just started melting. Redbull's nose just... meh Lotus liked walruses so much that they gave their cars tusks. Whereas the other cars... My god why did this had to happen... 😭
They had to have a longer tusk because of the regulations. You weren't allowed to have two impact structures at the front so by extending one they circumvented that rule
Thanks for the clarification. I checked my research after the video. But based on their performance that year, they weren't setting the world alight anyway.
Am I the only one who actually really likes that Lotus? Yeah it was a bit out there but I found it far easier on the eye than the McLaren or Toro Rosso that year. The fact one tusk was slightly longer was to get around regulations, something to do with the rules requiring the nose to have a single tip so they had to make one slightly longer than the other.
The 2014 marussia is my favourite 2014 car Not because of looks It was because of the absolute incredible performance from jules bianchi and of the same year we lost him 💔 Rip Jules we carry on your legacy
How on eart did we move from the clean urly 90's (granted mid 90's gave some ugly cars) to the 2000's (beauties with some exceptions from a few teams depending on the seasons) to the narrow trash cars i just dont understand from 09 till 17(even post 17 the cars have been gigantic) i want to forget all cars.
Technical regulations! After 1994, they started to govern more and more the basic look of cars. Earlier seasons had looser guidelines and teams had more imaginative space to think up new designs, like the 1978 Brabham fan car.
Do one for the year i think the cars were the ugliest, 2009. When thinking about horrible looking cars people think about 2014, no one mentions how terrible the 2009 one were....
Finally someone adressing the elephant(s) in the room, the DONGMOBILES. God I hated these, they were laughable, granted some got it better than others but holy moly. I'm glad they were done away quickly, tho the platypus noses in 2012 were just as bad as this.
Mercedes was ok, the RB was ok, I’m surprised that you like the Sauber, Marussia just makes me sad, Williams has a weak Martini livery imo, Force India makes me queasy and Mclaren makes want to tear my eyes out, Ferrari wasn’t fantastic but was fine, Caterham, uhh… I don’t want to talk about it, the less I want to know about the Toro Rosso and Lotus the better
I have no idea what any of the designers were smoking. Regulations said low nose. They could have flipped through their own history books to find the early '90s cars, which looked excellent. Instead they decided they couldn't be bothered to actually redesign their car, and just sliced off the nose and put a pecker on it. Just why?
Ngl the weird 2014 era of suspiciously phallic frontends was something I didn't wince or cringe at. Granted, they were bad (to the point where I wondered if some of the designers were trying to say something or not lol - EDIT: I think they all ha closeted size kinks lol), but I couldn't help but giggle like a little derp every single time I saw one. My teenage brain was definitely on the juvenile side and honestly.... I don't think that ever went away (case in point, every time you yell "Stop it" in a DB video, I just smile like an idiot).
Penis-nose aside, I think the livery of the Force India in 2014 was the best one they ever had. The 2014 Mclaren though for me was the ugliest F1 car of all time.

Hmm...that could be cool. That year was iconic for the sheer amount of winglets and all.
Yes yes yes I loved those mess of appendage cars
Unpopular opinion: The F14-T is one of the more beautiful cars this year, i even have a model of the car standing in my bedroom.
This may be my Ferrari bias though..
That's fair enough, pal. If you like it, then carry on. :)
@LawVS thanks mate, I sure will. :)

The revised nose on the Caterham later on in the season looked very decent as well
Yes it was a more elegant solution.
The 2014 Toro Rosso is one of my least favorite F1 cars of all time, my goodness
It's so surreal that such cars made it into the light of day!
Great video as usual
I have some nostalgia from these appendages; it was the year I first came into contact into F1 lel

I find it charming.
The Belgian gp update on the nose maked it look way smoother. Actually like both versions of it

It was all to do with meeting technicalities at the expense of looks

Obrigado!

It’s that attic venting and feeding session again!
Ah yes, the cars projected by AoStH Dr. Robotnik.
You could say almost every team that season was… “snooPING AS usual” that year.
Mercedes bent their nose, Ferrari either welded their nose downwards or the car just started melting.
Redbull's nose just... meh
Lotus liked walruses so much that they gave their cars tusks.
Whereas the other cars...
My god why did this had to happen... 😭
Technical regulations and engineers winning out.
7:05 I thought it was the regs that stopped them from making the tusks even ?
Ah, yes. Forgot about that. Thanks for the clarification!
@@LawVS even tusks could never have made that ugly thing any better 😂 great video as always !
@@blakesedit6827 Yes...I can tell that for Lotus, it was quite the arduous...tusk.
@@LawVS also in the first place, one of tusks was longer because of regulations also not aero. FIA wanted the cars to have ONE tip of the nose.

Thanks for the clarification. I checked my research after the video. But based on their performance that year, they weren't setting the world alight anyway.
@@LawVS yup, it didn't seem to work and it was banned the next year too
2:03… Really bad year 😢
The worst. RIP Jules.

I appreciate Lotus being bold...but it ultimately wasn't meant to be.
if u get rear ended by one of those things ur car will become pregnant
Would you though? Because they're looking kinda sad.
penetrable f1 cars.
The noses should have brought back Durex
Edit, holy crap, he actually used that joke in the video.
It was a sponsor for Surtees' team in the 70s. Comeback perhaps?
The 2014 marussia is my favourite 2014 car
Not because of looks
It was because of the absolute incredible performance from jules bianchi and of the same year we lost him 💔
Rip Jules we carry on your legacy

I thought the Toro Rosso looked like a truncheon!
You're crazy. The splash of purple on the Infiniti livery is beautiful.
As a gradient, it was alright... But as a random shape amongst other motifs was so distracting
Do one for the year i think the cars were the ugliest, 2009.
When thinking about horrible looking cars people think about 2014, no one mentions how terrible the 2009 one were....
I'll add that to the list!
Damn. I actually never noticed that the 2014 Red Bull had any appendage on the nose until seeing this video.
They did a good paint job.
i don’t mind the the 2014 Ferrari tbh yea it’s a red vacuum cleaner but it’s alot better then others
Not to mention the car itself isn't the easiest to drive.
also, i miss the McLaren Mercedes era..Hakkinen/Couthard dream team.
and now we've got the era of Mika Lauda at McLaren.
I'm sorry, but I won't take the lotus or Ferrari disrespect, I genuinely loved the f14t look, just a shame it wasn't fast
I respect your preference, pal. It just wasn't for me. Thank you for your time.
@@LawVS ye I get that, thanks for the awsome content, you've quickly become one of my fav f1 channels 👍🏾
I fully expected to just see the 2014 grid here.
True despair is having a ToroRosso in your back 👀
*Careless Whisper intensifies*
Every image of the F-14T I can find, I stick a .png of a Dyson on top of it.
Unpopular opinion: I'm actually not too bad tetms with the Ferrari in fact it's my 2nd favourite of the 2014 card because it isn't questionable
That's fine! I'm glad you like it. :)
The rear wing is what did it for me, it was far too small and made the overall car look like a toy.
100% agree.
Finally someone adressing the elephant(s) in the room, the DONGMOBILES. God I hated these, they were laughable, granted some got it better than others but holy moly. I'm glad they were done away quickly, tho the platypus noses in 2012 were just as bad as this.

Yeah Marussia had a bad year didn't they?
@@LawVS To say they had a bad year is a putting it sorta lightly yeah. I’d say it was extremely tragic and depressing
Would love to see a video on your favorite and/or least favorite one off liveries of current teams on the grid!!
I better write these down!
i bet your fav power ranger team was turbo........considering
Zero, actually.
@@LawVS yeah shame they swapped out the zeo crystal
Ah yes the "PiPi Car Year"
hehe
Stories from the attic?
Motorsport from the manhole?
Lorebuilding from the loft?
@@LawVS liveries from the ladder

They mainly wanted to keep the aero benefit of a tall monocoque and there was a loophole for those low noses. Engineers winning out.

I don't cringe, I chuckle. heh heh.
#williams did well in 2014 and definitely invested the prize money well. right?...
I think the engine masked over a lot of issues with the overall package.
@@LawVS shame, but after Silverstone things are beginning to look better
Penis-nose aside, I think the livery of the Force India in 2014 was the best one they ever had. The 2014 Mclaren though for me was the ugliest F1 car of all time.
The Force India livery that year was striking.
No jokes about a certain team boss in the comments?
The Ferrari is second best after Mercedes in my opinion
Mercedes and Red Bull are the only ones I would describe as OK-looking.
ehhhh still found 2014 merc pretty ugly
That's fair enough. It's not a pretty car but it's the least offensive of the bunch.
Hey you know whats the ugliest ferrari of 2014 the ferrari ff lol!!!😂😂😂
It's up there, but not THE worst.
@@LawVSthen which car is the worst Ferrari road car in 2014???🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I wonder if there an increase in Women viewership when they saw the car😏😏
I see what you did there.
F1 2014 had 3 females cars and 8 male. Who knows knows hehehe
Ohhh.
The williams and the RedBull are tho only ones that are not A LOT of Ugly
It was a very odd year.
