Best Ever F1 car
I know lots of people are going to say the Lotus 49 or the McLaren MP4/4.
But for me it is the Ferrari F2002. A car in which Schumacher finished 1st or 2nd in every single GP that year (Malaysia, the only 3rd place was in the F2001).
9 1-2 finishes out of 14 races with that car as well. For a car to be that dominant, even with an average driver like Rubens Barrichello behind the wheel, makes it the greatest F1 car ever raced.2nd place in the big quizz challenge!

The F2002 is my pick as well, definitely a dominant world beater, also because it was a 90° 3l V10, probably the best configuration for the chassis specs. Although the Ferrari 051 was not as powerful as the BMW P82 it was extremely reliable, and lighter I think. BTW I’m not saying that Ferrari made the best V10, only that the V10 was the ideal F1 engine IMHO
May the forza be with you

For some reason I always think of the F2004 being more dominant than the F2002. Maybe that's because Williams and McLaren didn't turn up in 2004.

1992 Williams comes to mind. That car was embarrassingly quick compared to others.

The Ferrari Sigma Grand Prix.
Races: 0
Wins: 0
This car featured the first tub, airliner style plastic safety fuel tanks, seat belts and pods to projecting behind the rear wheels to prevent cars locking wheels and jumping.
It was really the first car ever conceived with the admission that motor racers are paid professionals and that safety standards are things worth having.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

What about the Cooper-Climax of 1959 and 1960, the Ferrari Dino 156 of 1961 and the Lotus 25/33 of 1963-65 (although that may have been Jim Clark rather than the car)?

The Ferrari F2004, McLaren MP4-4, Ferrari F2002, Williams FW14, Red Bull RB7, McLaren MP4-20 (if it just hadn't such a terrible reliability) are the best F1 cars ever I think.
