The basic appearance of an F1 car is always determined by onething: aerodynamic efficiency. However, certain (experimental)aerodynamic interventions can make for unusual designs.RacingNews365 lists the ugliest Formula Ducks for you. Caterham C05What the engineers at Caterham were thinking when they designed theC05? No idea. Martin Brundle described their nose section as a"brick" and questioned its aerodynamic properties. In any case, itdidn't provide a crazy amount of speed advantage, as Caterhamfinished at the bottom end of the championship in 2014. WilliamsFW26 The famous walrus nose made its debut in 2004, when Williamswas struggling to compete with the all-conquering Ferrari team ofthe early '00s. In an effort to find some performance, the teamintroduced a special front wing. The team was forced to abandon theconcept when the peculiar design also failed to produce thenecessary performance gains... March 711 The March 711 largelylooked like a normal F1 car with a distinctive red livery. However,in an effort to find some extra downforce, the team mountedsomething that resembled an ironing board on the front of the car.Like the aforementioned Williams, the 711 would fail in terms ofresults and the strange component disappeared over time.827224282686185473 Ronnie Peterson in his March 711 at the 1971Monaco GP #F1 #F1History pic.twitter.com/qrq6j0zNEw — F1 History(@F1History1) February 2, 2017 Ensign N179 The car was essentiallya moving cheese grater. The design of the radiators didn't evenreally help, as the car constantly struggled with heating problems.What Ensign was thinking is left to everyone's imagination...537148700121104384 The Ensign N179, which for some reason has asection of ladder strapped to the front! #OldAeropic.twitter.com/SWSfGyiEbz — Retro Racing Company (@RetroRacingCo)November 25, 2014 Ligier JS5 Ligier's first F1 car was nicknamedthe "teapot" and resulted in a monstrosity known as the JS5. Unlikemany other bolides in this list, the JS5 was quite a solid car. Inits debut season, Ligier scored several podium finishes. The Frenchracing stable eventually finished sixth among the constructors.774331838567485440 Jacques Laffite - 1976 - Ligier JS5 #oldschoolf1pic.twitter.com/oLLeNPwsrC — Luca (@Digione_79) September 9, 2016Lotus E22 The Lotus E22 looks like a cross between the Caterham CT5and the Williams FW26, combining the ugliest elements of two carsfrom two different eras. The Lotus name is synonymous in F1 withdesign prowess and beauty. The E22 was neither fast nor beautiful,which is why it is on our list of ugliest cars in F1 history.
