The 10 ugliest F1 cars of all time

For every Eagle Weslake or Maserati 250F, there is a Caterham CT05 or Lotus E22. Check out our list of the 10 ugliest F1 cars of all-time, and make sure to vote at the bottom of the article in the poll!

TL;DR

March 711 (1971) - The Teatray

Ligier JS5 (1976) - The Teapot

Tyrrell P34 (1976-1977) - The six-wheeler

Ensign N179 (1979) - The Cheese Grater

Ferrari F310 (1996)

Williams FW26 (2004) - The Walrus

Ferrari F2012 (2012)

Caterham CT05 (2014)

Lotus E22 (2014) - The double tusk

Force India VJM07 (2014)

If you ask me, the P34 doesn't belong on this list. The concept was brilliant, less drag and twice as many front brake rotors in the bargain. It's only problem was that Goodyear wasn't interested in developing a 10" race tire. And back then, if Goodyear wouldn't support it, you couldn't race on it. The P34s came 1-2 at one event, which hints at what it might be capable of. If Goodyear had got behind it, we might to this day still be seeing 6-wheeled F1 racers.
