German Team ENSIGN N179 • 19 E VEAR GOOD ENSIGN CAnfrun ENSIGN N179 • 1979 11 Races • 7 DNQ • O Points A bizarre design that appears to have a step ladder strategically placed on the front of the car.

UK Team FERRARI F2012 20 MA Santander KAJPERJKVI xer alav yab FERRARI F2012• 2012 40 Races • 400 Points Perhaps the most successful ugly car ever.

Car suffered 3 retirements out of 40 drives. 3 First place finishes. Ferrari Type 056 V8 Engine. Italian Team ARROWS A22 200 YATECH SATA chello ROYS AS PreA orange EL AIT, IYATE IUYS ARROWS A22 • 2001 34 Races • Retired 15 times • 1 Point A strange car whose most lasting impression from the 2001 season was the weirdly shaped, elevated front wing they used at practice in Monaco.

UK Team BRABHAM BT46B parma nalat Parmaial YEAR GOOD. BRABHAM BT46B • 1978 1 Race • 1 Victory This car was designed to counter the dominance of Lotus at the time. Known as the "Fan Car" its odd looking design was certainly effective. Too much so, with team owner Bernie Ecclestone forced to withdraw it after only one race in the face of opposition from other team bosses. Niki Lauda (Austria), John Watson (UK). Won the only race it ran before being banned. Fiat 12 Alfa-Romeo Engine. UK Team WILLIAMS FW26• Allanz D MOtin CQ WILLIAMS FW26• 2004 36 Races • 1Win One of the most powerful F1 cars of all time, it was also mocked for its "Walrus" nose.
