Question Did you like the looks of the MP4/10? Other cars of the '90's?

Okay, we critiqued some of the current cars, so let's step back to take a look at the '90's through the good, the bad, and the ugly goggles.

One car that stands out in my mind is the MP4/10, besides it being a pig on the track, I hated the looks of it at the time. Also one of my favorite drivers, Mansell had to drive it, of course they had to build a special monocoque for his wide arse!
Over the years I began to like that car, it is an odd duck considering it's contemporaries, but I find it very interesting and edgy now.

I don't know of any cars in that period that I really hated the looks of, but there were many that were plain and uninspiring like the Ligier's.

My favorites of the '90's:
MP4/8
MP4/11
FW15C
Tyrrell 023
Lotus 107
J191
J194
B192
412T1A
412T2
AP01
1993 Footwork
FA18

I'm sure I've forgotten a few, you guys have favorites?

Mp4/10 The only good thing about it was the needle nose that Mika had a habit of puncturing other cars with! The FIA had to change the rules to make such noses illegal. Supposedly for safety but I think it was just because it was so damn ugly.

My favourite car of the ninties is the Arrows A19 of 1998. John Barnard's last F1 design. The all black livery was exceptionaly cool too.
Driven by the hugely talented Pedro Diniz

Don't forget the Arrows A19 was also driven by Mika Salo.... it's too bad it was an unreliable pig of a car. Though it had very nice side pod exits.

My votes for the 3 best looking F1 cars of the '90s:

1. '91 Jordan 191 (Green 7up livery)
2. '93 McLaren MP4/8
3. '97 Ferrari 310B (I believe this is the one where Villeneuve was given the old "Schumacher").
