Honestly, I feel like this is biased because of newer fans and recency bias since the Vodafone McLaren basically beat everything in its path by a landslide. The Marlboro Ferrari got done dirty as well. Honestly, the Marlboro McLaren is probably the most iconic and greatest F1 livery of all time, not just because of who drove it, but because it's instantly recognizable and it looks beautiful.
Most fans who followAldas and are on social media, tend to be younger, so of course there’s a heavier bias towards more recent liveries. At least you have some older stuff thrown into the initial 16.
exactly..i was thinking the same....especially the marlboro mclaren is overrated just because of its iconic and history....if that livery was introduced this year people would bash it!!
McLaren has 3 of the final 8 spots, yet their best livery in my opinion, the West McLaren, wasn't even in the bracket. The West McLarens of Hakkinen, Coulthard, and early Kimi were amazing.
Yeah I agree and imo the Vodafone McLaren is incredibly overrated. To me the massive sponsor logo and the glossy finish makes it look cheap (I don't know but instinctively reminds me of a generic energy drink bottle ngl...)
I'd just like to dedicate this video to the late Seb Patrick, who ran the highly under rated f1colours website (now sadly gone). Seb's annual livery breakdowns and lists were something no-one has done before or since, and my F1 experience is not the same without him. He is sorely missed.
I think it’s difficult to separate your favourite liveries from your favourite cars and from your favourite team/driver combinations so bearing that in mind it was a really fun exercise.
Maybe I am crazy but I've always thought that the Marlboro McLaren has nothing special going for it, it was just recognizable, but nothing more than that.
The R25 (2006 Alonso’s wining championship car) McLaren MP4-12 (F1 97) (DC) and Schumi’s Benetton 1995 and Jordan 1991 Arrows Jos Verstappen 2001 those are my favorites
Haven't seen this mentioned much (though I didn't follow this on Twitter to see the other suggestions) but the blue 'elf' liveries on the Tyrrells in the 70s has to be one of the best ones ever at least imo and would've been my number one
Between the Vodafone McLaren and the Brawn, I love both but I agree with Aldas on this one. As much as I love the Brawn car as, even now imo it looks so futuristic and so simple, I love the chrome of the McLaren and the Vodafone logo on the rear wing, it’s just stunning. So the Vodafone McLaren definitely wins out😍
For me, the best livery of all time is still the Marlboro McLaren of the 90’s. Judging on looks alone, the John Player Lotus I think it is No 1. I also think the West Mc’laren from 1998 is on of the greats. Never really like the blue Renault you put at No 1 I liked the old Benetton Mild Seven from the second part of the 90’s a lot more.
The A521 is one of my favorites. It looks pretty incredible. The Christmas release Alpine also looked amazing. I also loved the White RB16B. That car looked incredible. Another unpopular opinion, but the Haas VF19 looked pretty awesome (aside from it being Rich Energy). Vodafone McLaren will always be a classic, alongside every Marlboro livery ever made. Aston Martin would've been an instant classic if they would've Incorporated a neon green color trimming (sort of like the Jordan). I'll be interested to see what ASM brings to 2022.
seriously surprised that the Vodafone McLaren livery outed the JPS Lotus, and then won the whole thing. I mean its not bad, but the colors are kinda off
First when I watched F1 it was Vodafone Mclaren and Redbull in 2012 But all time is the Mclaren of late 80s and Lotus of 70s,but my favorite is 2013 red bull and Vodafone Mclaren
This season it is the mclaren-monaco and the alpine. The alpine looks sick! And the Monaco McLaren was really amazing also All time. I say lotus (John player) and the McLaren Vodafone
I love the Vodafone McLaren livery, but after seeing the Vodafone account tweeting, I wonder how many of their employees voted for that ☺ For me it's actually between that 1st round match- the Jordan 191 and Mansell's FW14B.
Hey Aldas!! Loved the video... Awesome content... All thanks to you 😍 But, we would have loved if the picture of the liveries shown were bigger and your face could hv been shown smaller in the video Just our opinion :) Thanks again
I'm actually schocked how this matches my personal opinion I agree with nearly all of them I would just put this Yellow Jordan a little bit higher but i understand that it had a strong opponent
And yet when Ron Dennis tried to bring back these McLaren colours in 2015 everyone complained, I personally prefer the papaya anyway but the Vodafone McLaren and the gulf will always hold a special place.
No Orange Arrows, no Toyota... Also, unpopular opinion but the chrome on the Vodafone McLaren is HIDEOUS! The West McLaren livery before it was much nicer.
McLaren Marlboro livery is overrated imo, used the two most boring colors and barely any design to it. If you compare it to for example the Toyota livery, they used pretty much the same colors but added uniqueness to the livery by having the brushed look.
i am actually upset that the modern red bull liverly wasnt even in the first 16, i think it is a fantastic livery and a modern calssic obviously im not upset, these are all beautiful aswell ;)
4 way tie between the Benson and Hedges Jordan (the save in 2001 Monaco Qualifying from Heinz-Harald Frentzen was mind-bogglingly lucky), The Gulf Mclaren - one of the most iconic liveries on a modern car, which was executed brilliantly, the early 2010's Red Bull liveries, which were more metallic compared to the modern matte colour scheme; which I do love, and lastly I would have to say the Marlboro McLaren, because it is such an iconic livery (kinda sucks that in games they take the Marlboro away). I would also put the Vodafone McLaren and Jordan 191 very, very close to being one my favourite liveries, but the 4 mentioned before are overall my favourite.
I think it's going to be extremely tough deciding the best liveries among fans as we don't have quantifiable elements to take place apart from our emotions. Basically it's the livery or a car that made us love F1 when we start watching it. On that note, I gonna vote for Malboro McLaren as that certain yellow helmet driver made me fell in love with F1. I believe many fans love the Scuderia Red or the Silver Arrows depending when they start watching and love F1. Honorable mention to me will be the Vodafone McLaren and the Papaya McLaren.
I stg i watched a video earlier about another topic and my friend and i had a convo yesterday about that and this we basically came up with i liked the jordan 919 and he said 2021 gulf mclaren its just great timing
The gray is very pretty but in daily driving gray cars are very hard to see. The yellow/blue Renault made it easy to watch Alonso make his way through the race. I liked all the crazy aero appendages of 2007-2008, especially when a $1M part would fall off and the car go faster.
mild seven renault will always be my favorite. the 7up jaguar because that green colour was so good looking on that car. the yellow and black jordan has to be mentioned too because it stands out so much from all other f1 cars, the renault of 2020 had the colours but i didnt like it that much but that might be down to me comparing it to the mild seven renault and saying they can do better. alpines livery this year is a big improvement over the renault in my opinion.
I remember hearing the chrome paint was heavier, so the car was disadvantaging itself to look that way, a credit to how good the livery was, worth the pain
I will probably be a stranger in the midst of these McLaren violence for the best livery, but for me these 5 liveries are the ultimate ones: 1) Mild Seven Benetton Ford B194 (1994) 2) West McLaren Mercedes MP 4/13 (1998) 3) Infinity Red Bull Renault RB9 (2013) 4) Rothmans Williams Renault FW16 (1994) 5) Lotus Mugen Honda 109 (1994)
I might agree with the Mild Seven Renault being the best one. I remember first seeing it in Scalextric catalogues and I had pretty much no connection to F1 back then. The livery is just brilliant and I think it could have been revived in 2021 as an Alpine-Renault livery with the blue for Alpine and yellow for Renault. That's just dreaming though and the Alpine A521 is still very nice although I wish it could have a bit more blue instead of black on the nose.
Thank God the JPS Lotus made it that far. It is one of my favorites along with the 2013 Lotus E21. Yeah, there's a pattern here. Put the black with the gold/yellow and I'll be all over that car.
The best is definitely more of fan favourite here, that's the case since from the first time vote was collected to be in top 16. It's really fun to see the "battle" nevertheless, stick to the whole vid even tho can skipped it right to the final 😂 personally not a fan of marlboro McLaren, so always Vodafone for me for final
Honestly, I feel like this is biased because of newer fans and recency bias since the Vodafone McLaren basically beat everything in its path by a landslide. The Marlboro Ferrari got done dirty as well. Honestly, the Marlboro McLaren is probably the most iconic and greatest F1 livery of all time, not just because of who drove it, but because it's instantly recognizable and it looks beautiful.
Absolutely and you've got to remember the audience on Twitter specifically are going to be younger fans. But was still a cool little experiment
Most fans who followAldas and are on social media, tend to be younger, so of course there’s a heavier bias towards more recent liveries. At least you have some older stuff thrown into the initial 16.
Facts, just look at how many votes the current Merc got vs the Marlboro McLaren... 30%?? Hamilton stans😂😂😂
Honestly, for me it was the JPS Lotus livery that should've won, timeless, they even had a private jet in those colors..
@@julian2626 I mean it still made it to the final 4 , it got its respect
Vodafone McLaren Mercedes has to be my favourite F1 team of all time, but that RB9 got done dirty - Such a beautiful livery 😍
Hi yuwan keep the vids coming didn't expect you to see here
The torro rosso 08 was great too
And the martini williams of filippe massa and bottas
@@thomasjohan3138 u mad?, It's a fckin mess
2007-2008 Vodafone McLaren Mercedes are the most beautiful cars of all time.
Judging by the lack of midfield/backmarker liveries, these people didn't just vote for the best liveries. The voted more for most famous liveries
*grumpy Orange Arrows noises*
Backmarkers often make really nice liveries probably because they think 'fuck it if we can't build a good car at least make it look nice'
@@GTFan8899 The 1996 Ligier was also nice!
exactly..i was thinking the same....especially the marlboro mclaren is overrated just because of its iconic and history....if that livery was introduced this year people would bash it!!
2017-2019 Toro Rosso is one of the best liveries of all time.
McLaren has 3 of the final 8 spots, yet their best livery in my opinion, the West McLaren, wasn't even in the bracket. The West McLarens of Hakkinen, Coulthard, and early Kimi were amazing.
I agree
The mp4/13 1998 was by far their greatest livery and aerodynamics
Yeah I agree and imo the Vodafone McLaren is incredibly overrated. To me the massive sponsor logo and the glossy finish makes it look cheap (I don't know but instinctively reminds me of a generic energy drink bottle ngl...)
A shame,i love that livery more than the vodafone
One will always stick with me is the West McLaren Mercedes, I love that black and silver livery
Same yo
Let's just give props for McLaren for having 3 of it's liveries, all iconic in the top 8.
I'd just like to dedicate this video to the late Seb Patrick, who ran the highly under rated f1colours website (now sadly gone).
Seb's annual livery breakdowns and lists were something no-one has done before or since, and my F1 experience is not the same without him. He is sorely missed.
people do be forgetting the McLaren West livery
I know right !!! That was incredible for its time.
west livery was iconic. Honorable mention to renault elf livery too.
West? You mean Mika, David, Kimi and Juan Pablo?
Did Vodaphone get all their employees to vote? 😂
Yeh, so did Vodafone
I think it’s difficult to separate your favourite liveries from your favourite cars and from your favourite team/driver combinations so bearing that in mind it was a really fun exercise.
Before watching
Caterham 2013 without a doubt
Completle forgot this one
That's quite a pick
The 2013 Caterham and the old jaguars always jump straight towards the top for me....... something about metallic green looks amazing!
It's always Mclaren hands down alongside with Mercedes Black Livery to End Racism
Mercedes sold their sould. "Silver arrows" my arse
Yeah lewis "combating" racism
Maybe I am crazy but I've always thought that the Marlboro McLaren has nothing special going for it, it was just recognizable, but nothing more than that.
It's iconic rather than astonishing if you know what I mean, the livery is nice and elegant but there are better liveries out there
same
It basically looked like a Marlboro cigarette pack and that's it. 😁
I think it did its job well. Not the most beautiful, but it was brilliantly designed.
The Mclaren MP4/14 with the West on the livery is in my personal opinion the most beautiful livery ever put on any car ever.
The R25 (2006 Alonso’s wining championship car) McLaren MP4-12 (F1 97) (DC) and Schumi’s Benetton 1995 and Jordan 1991 Arrows Jos Verstappen 2001 those are my favorites
Alonso won the 2005 championship in the R25 and the 2006 championship in the R26
My top 3 livery would be:
Jaguar Racing
Bar Honda (Lucky Strike/555 combo)
Orange Arrows
Nostalgia won
Honestly this competition didn't show what is the best livery it just showed the demographic of people that voted
its really sad
The orange and blue Gulf livery does it for me, one of the most iconic liveries in Motorsport
Literally cheered out loud when he announced that the Vodafone McLaren had won. Those cars were beautiful, specially the one from 2012.
Lotus 2013, with the Black gold and red looks absolutely amazing
Haven't seen this mentioned much (though I didn't follow this on Twitter to see the other suggestions) but the blue 'elf' liveries on the Tyrrells in the 70s has to be one of the best ones ever at least imo and would've been my number one
Not a fan of the Vodafone McLaren livery... not a fan of the shiny silver
I would have included a Toyota or 2007 Honda livery in the bracket though
If the 1998-2005 McLaren was in the running it would win 🔥🔥🔥
Between the Vodafone McLaren and the Brawn, I love both but I agree with Aldas on this one. As much as I love the Brawn car as, even now imo it looks so futuristic and so simple, I love the chrome of the McLaren and the Vodafone logo on the rear wing, it’s just stunning. So the Vodafone McLaren definitely wins out😍
I think the Gulf looked much better than the Vodafone
For me it’s the 2018 Toro Rosso. That car is gorgeous!! The color placement!!
For me, the best livery of all time is still the Marlboro McLaren of the 90’s. Judging on looks alone, the John Player Lotus I think it is No 1. I also think the West Mc’laren from 1998 is on of the greats. Never really like the blue Renault you put at No 1 I liked the old Benetton Mild Seven from the second part of the 90’s a lot more.
My favourite is easily the Lotus 25 the British Racing green and the yellow was spot on
The A521 is one of my favorites. It looks pretty incredible. The Christmas release Alpine also looked amazing. I also loved the White RB16B. That car looked incredible. Another unpopular opinion, but the Haas VF19 looked pretty awesome (aside from it being Rich Energy).
Vodafone McLaren will always be a classic, alongside every Marlboro livery ever made. Aston Martin would've been an instant classic if they would've Incorporated a neon green color trimming (sort of like the Jordan). I'll be interested to see what ASM brings to 2022.

This season it is the mclaren-monaco and the alpine. The alpine looks sick! And the Monaco McLaren was really amazing also
All time. I say lotus (John player) and the McLaren Vodafone
that monza alfa romeo was something else
I absolutely love Vodafone McLaren Mercedes of 2006-13
After last weeks race, i'd put that Red Bull/Honda special livery at one of the most beautiful liveries i've ever seen.
Never would have thought Aldas and I would end up with the same result in this random bracket
It often gets overlooked for lists like this although I have a soft spot for the 1989 EuroBrun ER189. mmm... Jagermeister
I love the Vodafone McLaren livery, but after seeing the Vodafone account tweeting, I wonder how many of their employees voted for that ☺
For me it's actually between that 1st round match- the Jordan 191 and Mansell's FW14B.
This video shows that people like more the history of the livery than the livery itself
Early 90s Ferrari all day. Just wow! The black wheels, darker red, hints of yellow and black around the car, beautiful simple shape.
Hey Aldas!!
Loved the video... Awesome content... All thanks to you 😍
But, we would have loved if the picture of the liveries shown were bigger and your face could hv been shown smaller in the video
Just our opinion :) Thanks again
I was surprised the Vodafone McLaren did so strongly. I had expected the JPS Lotus to beat the Vodafone McLaren for an all Senna final.
Same
I'm actually schocked how this matches my personal opinion
I agree with nearly all of them
I would just put this Yellow Jordan a little bit higher but i understand that it had a strong opponent
And yet when Ron Dennis tried to bring back these McLaren colours in 2015 everyone complained, I personally prefer the papaya anyway but the Vodafone McLaren and the gulf will always hold a special place.
For me the best has to Be the Mid 70s Golden Livery run by Arrows..It was beautiful
No Orange Arrows, no Toyota...
Also, unpopular opinion but the chrome on the Vodafone McLaren is HIDEOUS! The West McLaren livery before it was much nicer.
McLaren+beautyful livery= success
That's on what McLaren needs to improve for the upcoming years if they want to win...😂
For me the West Mclaren driven by Kimi.
Easy McLaren Marlbro of 80s and 90s
I,m more of the West era style ;)
McLaren Marlboro livery is overrated imo, used the two most boring colors and barely any design to it. If you compare it to for example the Toyota livery, they used pretty much the same colors but added uniqueness to the livery by having the brushed look.
ive been waiting so long for this video
Fun fact: R25 livery colors, blue with some yellow, are also the colors of Asturias, Alonso birthplace
Do people actually like the Alpine livery?
i am actually upset that the modern red bull liverly wasnt even in the first 16, i think it is a fantastic livery and a modern calssic
obviously im not upset, these are all beautiful aswell ;)
The 2000 Williams BMW is really beautiful.
The Lotus John Player Special is in my opinion the best livery of all time.
The black and gold is just 👌.
My favourite are the mclaren West liveries from especially the 99 and 2000 was just beautiful !!!
l'd give anything for a mclaren silver-red livery for atleast next year's monaco GP
4 way tie between the Benson and Hedges Jordan (the save in 2001 Monaco Qualifying from Heinz-Harald Frentzen was mind-bogglingly lucky), The Gulf Mclaren - one of the most iconic liveries on a modern car, which was executed brilliantly, the early 2010's Red Bull liveries, which were more metallic compared to the modern matte colour scheme; which I do love, and lastly I would have to say the Marlboro McLaren, because it is such an iconic livery (kinda sucks that in games they take the Marlboro away).

Where are the 1993, Suzuka Ligier JS39? The Wolf WR1? The Minardi M191 and the Sauber C13?
Great vid! You should do the same for special or one off liveries
Also the 60s Lotus were really good to

My favorite livery ever is probably the brawn, so I’m sad it got knocked out so early
I stg i watched a video earlier about another topic and my friend and i had a convo yesterday about that and this we basically came up with i liked the jordan 919 and he said 2021 gulf mclaren its just great timing

Idk why but I really like the west mclarens. Also the 2019 and 2020 mercs. The alfa romeo liveries are also really good.
There can only be one. The black lotus with golden JPS livery
A well deserved winner. Absolutely love the Vodafone Mclaren livery!
Between the Marlborough McLaren and JPS Lotus for me. Such iconic liveries
mild seven renault will always be my favorite. the 7up jaguar because that green colour was so good looking on that car. the yellow and black jordan has to be mentioned too because it stands out so much from all other f1 cars, the renault of 2020 had the colours but i didnt like it that much but that might be down to me comparing it to the mild seven renault and saying they can do better. alpines livery this year is a big improvement over the renault in my opinion.
What is that flag near his name in Twitter?
It’s looks like a country flag ( like Bolivia)
Lithuania 🇱🇹
@@xXx_Azulover69 ooo interesting, is he from Lithuania?
Hot take: most people like the malboro mclaren because of it's history, even if they're unaware of it. Not because of the livery itself.
I remember hearing the chrome paint was heavier, so the car was disadvantaging itself to look that way, a credit to how good the livery was, worth the pain
John player lotus, marlboro Ferrari and mclaren, 2021 McLaren gulf livery, red bull RB9 and the Vodafone McLaren are some of the greats.
Yeah, the Vodafone one is unique. I mean those chrome reflections is astonishing very unique.
I like Simtek from 94 because there aren't enough purple cars
The MTV/XLR8 one👌.
I will probably be a stranger in the midst of these McLaren violence for the best livery, but for me these 5 liveries are the ultimate ones:
1) Mild Seven Benetton Ford B194 (1994)
2) West McLaren Mercedes MP 4/13 (1998)
3) Infinity Red Bull Renault RB9 (2013)
4) Rothmans Williams Renault FW16 (1994)
5) Lotus Mugen Honda 109 (1994)
Where’s Jim Clark’s lotus livery from ‘65
Man that Prost's Ferrari looks SEXY, I love that era of cars.
I might agree with the Mild Seven Renault being the best one. I remember first seeing it in Scalextric catalogues and I had pretty much no connection to F1 back then. The livery is just brilliant and I think it could have been revived in 2021 as an Alpine-Renault livery with the blue for Alpine and yellow for Renault. That's just dreaming though and the Alpine A521 is still very nice although I wish it could have a bit more blue instead of black on the nose.
Next time do an underrated f1 livery contest
My favs are the 2018 torro rosso and Vodafone mclaren
I've been waiting for this one!
Thank God the JPS Lotus made it that far. It is one of my favorites along with the 2013 Lotus E21. Yeah, there's a pattern here. Put the black with the gold/yellow and I'll be all over that car.
The orange arrows really had to be there. We never saw that near enough
Rothmans livery is nostalgic and beautiful, but as you see on my profile picture the best one for me is lucky strike.
So you like 2000-2005 BAR? (Excluding 555 special) or just lucky strike livery in general.
Agreed, the R25.. just such a beaut!!
Not one Martini livery?!🤦🏻♂️ The Final shoulda been MP4-4 vs ‘21 Gulf tho
Astonishingly amazed that they never saw one. There was a reason they brought it back recently on the Williams after the 70's Brabham Martinis 👌.
Redbull infiniti 2013, 2018 sf71h mission winnow, gulf mclaren are my tops, the jps lotus, and the 2012 lotus aswell
The black & gold 1985-86 JPS Lotus for me.
The Brabham and the Jaaaag would have been my finalists. Not sure which I would pick...
6:25 the crowd had me up until this point, that Jordan is just too spicy, its a damn fighter jet, but it is what it is
Vodafone mclaren mercedes and 2017 torro rosso are my picks. Mercrdes w11 and vjm09 are honorable mentions.
The fact that the JPS LOTUS ISNT HERE IS A CRIME
1990 benneton by far
great idea for a video. fair play
McLaren Mercedes and 2020 Black Mercedes are both my absolute favourite F1 livery of all time. ♥
Funny thing is that this livery competition is more exciting then the 2020 f1 season
The white Reb Bull from last weekend! 🔥🔥🔥
The best is definitely more of fan favourite here, that's the case since from the first time vote was collected to be in top 16.
It's really fun to see the "battle" nevertheless, stick to the whole vid even tho can skipped it right to the final 😂 personally not a fan of marlboro McLaren, so always Vodafone for me for final
I like the Redbull testing livery, black and blue.
I Do think the Toyotas should have been on here.
