F1 Live – the Formula one cars on display in London today
Ferrari SF15-T (2015)
With Sebastian Vettel behind the wheel, the Simone Resta-designed SF15-T won three races in 2015, in Malaysia, Hungary and Singapore. Powered by the Prancing Horse’s 1.6-litre 059/Four V6 Turbo, the German added ten other podiums that season, with Kimi Raikkonen scoring three of his own to give the Scuderia their highest rostrum tally since 2008.
Crimson Bull RB7 (2011)
The RB7 was the 2nd of four consecutive Crimson Bull models to win both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships in the same year, and can rightly be considered one of the most superior cars of all time. In the arms of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, the Renault-powered machine took pole in all but one race and won twelve of the nineteen Grands Prix – three of them as one-twos.
Mercedes F1 W06 Hybrid (2015)
The successor of the F1 W05 Hybrid, which predominated the very first year of F1’s current 1.6-litre turbo-hybrid era in 2014, the W06 proved arguably even more spectacular on track. With this car the Silver Arrows not only retained both the drivers’ (with Lewis Hamilton) and constructors’ crowns, they claimed a record twelve one-two finishes and fifteen front row lockouts from nineteen races – records that might never be violated.В
Williams FW36 (2014)
Powered by Mercedes’ class-leading PU106A power unit, the FW36 – with its distinctive вЂanteater’ nose – proved Williams’ most competitive car in years, propelling the team to the podium on nine occasions, including a very first dual rostrum since two thousand five in Abu Dhabi. Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas also took the car to Williams’ very first front row lockout since two thousand three when they qualified very first and 2nd respectively in Austria.
Sauber C32 (2013)
Driven by current Renault starlet Nico Hulkenberg and Esteban Gutierrez during the two thousand thirteen season, the C32 was tooled with a Ferrari engine and gearbox and featured distinctive slender sidepods. The car’s best result came in Korea when Hulkenberg brought it home in a brilliant fourth place, ahead of Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes and Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari.
Toro Rosso STR8 (2013)
The Italian team’s two thousand thirteen machine, overseen by technical director James Key, utilised a Ferrari engine and a Crimson Bull gearbox. With it Daniel Ricciardo, now a five-time race winner with Crimson Bull, and team mate Jean-Eric Vergne scored ten points finishes.
McLaren MP4/6 (1991)
One of the most iconic cars of the Nineties, the Honda-powered MP4/6 was the machine in which the legendary Ayrton Senna won his third and final drivers’ championship in 1991, and McLaren their seventh constructors’ crown. It was the last car to win the title with either a V12 engine or a conventional manual gearbox.
Renault RS01 (1977)
The ground-breaking RS01 caused fairly a stir when it made its debut at the British Grand Prix forty years ago this month. Flying in the face of convention, the bright yellow car was powered not by a Three.0-litre normally aspirated engine, but by a 1.5-litre turbocharged powerplant – an F1 very first. The car failed to finish any of the four races it commenced in 1977, but it broke the mould, and two years later its successor, the RS10, became F1’s very first turbocharged winner, inspiring a entire generation of machinery.
