There were no coincidences that day. All a marketing ploy. Twas a calculated setup to promote the movie about... (diamond) heists. Surely that must've had people talking about it... They must've gone 'how much to promote our movie across the whole car, a livery take-over if you will?'... - 3 million. 'Ouch! Howbout our livery takes up less space?' - Only 400k, 'Ok! Deal!

@@shiznuts -- This has been my counter-argument for years ("diamond" goes "missing" in a promotion for a movie about diamond heists... how stupid do you have to be to believe that diamond was real?)

Okay, let's do the math... the guy who financed these diamonds was worth about $1 billion at the time of this incident. The average income (in the U.S. at least) is about $35,000. $300,000 is to a billionaire, what $10 would be to someone earning $50,000.

Damn, the 9/11 tribute liveries really hit home. I respect the respect from the teams and organization. I was 10 when it happened, i remember seeing internal reactions to the tragedy but wasnt aware of the international impact. Glad to know we're all a big family.
9/11 i was happy the race went ahead. My home was such dark place that month , and a long while to come. But , my favorite racing was able to ease my mind for a few hours that Sunday. Thanks F1. Unfortunately, it took that tragedy to bring America together again. I hope we don't need for that to happen again, before we all come together again. We could really use it now. Before things go to far.
Somewhat unrelated, but I can't oversee the best brand placement for me, which is Sega at the Williams FW15, having Sonic's legs painted where the legs of the driver really were pressing the pedals, so cool...
Only way they could do it is if they have some kind of other product to advertise such as Mission Winnow (Phillip Morris/Ferrari) or A Better Tomorrow (BAT/McLaren). All that said, the Genii Lotus ran in the black/gold colour scheme as a throwback to the JPS era, and the rumour back in 1998 was the reason Tom Walkinshaw ran the Arrows in an all black livery was to try and entice JPS back to F1 as a sponsor, but it obviously didn't work as why would JPS wanna sponsor a team that was at the back of the grid most of the time and usually finished races at the side of the road.
i had that with a pepsi action once... uploaded a picture with 2 or 3 classmates... 4 years later when i was working i spotted a truck with it and went for a look if i could find us.. thank god i found us at eye hight... haha
As an American, the Ferrari 2001 livery was heart wrenching. As an on and off F1 fan, I wasn't aware they had done that. Thank you for including them in this video.
There was also a one off Wings For Life photo livery Red Bull ran at Silverstone, 2007. Webber retired after 8 laps with a hydraulic problem, Coulthard finished out of the points in P11, 1 lap down
honestly that is a really good idea, F1 needs a good looking all white car again, i miss the 1999 Stewart F1 car for that same reason, it just looked so good! the mercedes would likely look even better
What about the Daft Punk Lotus? I know the car wasn't that special, but we got to see Daft Punk in racing overalls, and that's gotta be worth something
3:58 One of Ferrari’s very first formula 1 cars was pained in a different colour to read as well. It was known as the “thinwall special”, and it was painted in darkish green because it was run by vandervells team at the time.
What if the lost diamond incident was a very meta situation where a group of international thiefs knew about the promotion and went their ways into the garage to sabotage the car and then, a very well placed cameraman, took the picture and when the coast was clear, took the diamond. You just can imagine him going to rejoin the other team members and take a cup of chilled champange in the balcony of a Hotel Casino in Monaco while seeing the sunset through their seaside view.
I think the Force India Racing x BAPE pink camo livery for part of the 1000th F1 race (Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai) definitely isn't "weird" per se, but it's one of my favorites. The clash of two completely different worlds on that car works really well IMO, especially considering Force India/Racing Point's main color is pink and pink camo is one of BAPE's signature designs. One of my favorite new-school liveries for sure.
Well, in NASCAR, enough crowd-funding support was gathered online that one of the teams donned a Doge livery for a while. And in F1, there was one race where UPS tried to do the same thing for their logo as Red Bull did for their entire car. Amusingly, one of the 'faces' that ended up on the UPS logo was none other than the glorious Dickbutt meme.
Does placing your face on the car count? If so, I want an F1 team to replicate what Corey Lajoie in NASCAR did last year with his face car thanks to sponsorship from Old Spice XD
I'm not convinced that the real diamonds were mounted on the cars for the race, doesn't seem like something the stewards would allow because of the high likelihood of them getting loose during the race and either hitting a driver,spectator, marshal or car. Clever bit of marketing with the whole "disappearance" after the crash but it either was all smoke and mirrors to begin with or an extremely ambitious insurance scam.
Woah that yellow/gold Marlboro McLaren looks exactly how they did it on some old F1 games back on the SEGA or such if I recall, where the AI cars would usually have alternate colour liveries!😮 Another way of describinng it would be like finding a shiny Pokémon😛 but yeah a very interesting and well presented overall video here!👍
I was expecting the BAR Honda 1999 zipped livery with Lucky Strike on the left and 555 on the right. Alot of people seem to hate on it, yet I find it looking rather neat. I remember when playing the F1C '99-'02 game back in the day (I think it was a modded Ralph Hummerich-version. I'm not sure, as my father was the one who installed it), I always picked BAR as I loved their livery.
Sauber had a one-off livery in the 1994 Canadian GP commemorating Andre de Cesaris's 200th F1 start. Just last season, Mercedes ran the Lauda tribute livery at Monaco. One of the earlier U..S. GPs at COTA (2013 maybe?), McLaren ran their usual livery but with Verizon Wireless branding, not Vodafone.
I think a steering wheel with small diamonds around parts of it would've been a better idea for jaguar. Approval from insurance and a way better piece for publicity. Like a pimped out steering wheel would've been way cooler and probably cheaper than those 2 diamonds
I will say this (may be an unpopular opinion): The 2012 HRT car was the most visually appealing car on the 2012 grid. My eyes were drawn to its beautiful, stunning design... ...for about a second until I was drawn towards Vettel overtaking Karthikeyan.
Footnote on the Jaguar diamond story - it was not the last time that expensive rocks were seen on F1 cars. In 2006, McLaren ran a diamond-encrusted steering wheel on the race cars. It doesn’t appear that these were lost, though.
The one-off *red* McLaren of Canada 1967. Probably at the time wasn't that weird, McLaren was only in the second F1 season of its history, but after all these years and the rivalry with ferrari make that colour scheme pretty special and kinda weird to see now.
There is another Red Bull Special Livery 2007 British GP, they decided to use the same concept of the same Gp of five years later. Putting random people everywhere on the chassis for Supporting Wings For Life
I remember the day of the first RB podium and it WAS cursed. Klien had a great race and was on his way to get the first podium for an austrian team, as an austrian driver, but then his car failed. That year RB basically had one working car and it was DC's. Klien had so many problem all year but this hurts the most. But still verx impressive from RB
At the Monaco GP in 1966, McLaren's first race as a constructor, they painted their cars white and green, so they would look like the fictional Yamura team in the movie Grand Prix and were used for filiming during practice sessions :D
Not really a one off livery but I remember back in the 90s DC having to use the spare car for a race, back when they would switch West with the drivers name, but while Hakanaan's said Mika David's said 'Team' because it was the T Car and for whatever reason they dan't the time to change it over. Another oddity in that era was Williams replacing the front wing on Hill's during qualifying to try and get more grip only to send him out with a Rothmans branded one at a tobacco banned race. They got a fine but Damon avoided a penalty.
Gitanes livery on the Ligier was only used in practice, and the yellow ferrari was raced in Belgian racing colours, as driver was Belgian, and it was loaned to the local ferrari importer, apparently
You've got it perfect for the pronounciation of the French Cigarettes companies. By the way, for the Yellow Ferrari of Olivier Gendebien, it was entered by the Ecurie Nationale Belge, which entered all their cars with Yellow dominance liveries :)
The Lowenbrau McLaren from 1978 (I think) was far more unusual and weird than the yellow Marlboro one. And what about the 1977 Imperial tobacco livery for the Lotus? You could not get something more different than a switch from black/gold to red.
While it can't qualify for this list as it's not a "ONE-OFF" Livery, the coolest livery EVER for me (and probably on of the very few with a MEANING), has to go to Honda's "EARTH DREAMS" Livery.
Mercedes: lets put a special livery on to celebrate 125 years Next thing you know, Bottas crashes out, and Lewis spins out to 9th. I thought for the mercedes w10, i thought it was for monaco when they made the halo red, saying "We'll Miss you Niki" or something like that
