The March 711 from 1971 earned the nickname “Teatray” due to its radical front wing design that aimed to create smooth airflow over the wings. The unique concept worked, with Ronnie Peterson achieving five podiums and finishing as runner-up to Jackie Stewart in the standings. Ligier’s 1976 JS5, dubbed “The Teapot,” had a large airbox that channeled air to the Matra V12 engine but was later outlawed due to rule changes. Tyrrell P34 from 1976-1977, known as the “six-wheeler,” featured four small driving wheels at the front and two at the back, winning a race in Sweden.

The Ferrari F310 from 1996, driven by Michael Schumacher, was considered one of the ugliest Ferraris due to its design.
