Top 10 worst F1 liveries ever – does Ferrari make it?
May 3, 2025
The 2025 Miami GP's one-off liveries – particularly Ferrari's – are a timely reminder that 'special' doesn't always mean good
Formula 1 is a showcase of speed, technology, and, sometimes, questionable taste.
Ferrari’s one-off Miami GP livery – in deference to title sponsor HP – has largely been given the thumbs down by fans, due to its ham-fisted marrying of Scuderia red and ink jet printer blue.
While some colour schemes become instant classics, others leave fans scratching their heads, wondering how such eyesores ever made it onto the grid as sponsor identities take preference over aesthetics.
Here’s a look at the ugliest paint-jobs in F1 history.
10. 2018 Racing Point/Force India VJM11
It’s not easy to pick the ugliest of the pink liveries that Force India/Racing Point used throughout its pre-Aston Martin history, but the 2021 paint scheme edges ahead of the rest.
As it’s often the case, the colour was dictated by money, in this case Austrian water technology company BWT, the team’s name sponsor and whose corporate identity was mostly pink.
The Silverstone-based team stayed with the colour from 2017 to 2020, before Aston took over (for the sake of everyone’s retinas).
9. 1997 Lola T97/30
Lola’s efforts in F1 lasted one full grand prix weekend before the team lost its sponsors and withdrew from the championship having failed to qualify for its only race.
