Is the Lotus 79 the best-looking Formula 1 car ever? We think it might be, but either way there is no doubting its impact on the sport.

The 79 refined the ground-effect concept and dominated the 1978 F1 season, taking the constructors' title and helping Mario Andretti and Ronnie Peterson to a 1-2 in the drivers' standings.

The 1979 F1 field was full of Lotus 79 copies - or attempts to duplicate the same levels of downforce - and the team fell back as Colin Chapman looked for the next 'big thing', but the 79's place in history is secure.

About Ben Anderson

Ben Anderson is GP Racing's Editor, Autosport track tester and tame racing driver. He holds an undergraduate degree in journalism studies from the University of Sheffield and joined the title in March 2008, after eight months working in local newspaper journalism for award-winning weekly the Surrey Mirror. He worked on Autosport's national desk before moving up to F1 in '14. He has raced karts and cars since the age of 11 and has tested or raced more than 100 different examples during his career so far.

About Matt Kew

Matt Kew is Autosport Magazine's Editorial Assistant, a role he started in mid 2018. An interest in motorsport was sparked by regular trips to watch ASCAR crash around Rockingham's banked oval.

He read politics and philosophy at the University of Sheffield - receiving first-class honours for his dissertation assessing the lack of female participation in top-tier motor racing.

Matt then covered a wide variety of national race and rally meetings for Autosport as a freelancer before joining full-time. His best efforts to argue the merits of historics and touring cars are undone by a questionable taste in music and James Bond actors.

About Kevin Turner

Kevin Turner has been the editor of Autosport magazine since 2016, having previously been the editor of sister publication Motorsport News. He joined the magazine in '06 after writing club race reports as a freelancer while studying history at the University of York. He has also covered international events for both the magazine and the website, including the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Kevin covered the British Touring Car Championship from 2011 to '14 and has a keen interest in the historic racing scene. He lives in Fleet with his wife and two children.

How Formula E's open title fight was defused in two races It was open season as Formula E returned to action, with the championship contenders all close on points ahead of the six-part Berlin E-Prix. But after just two races, Antonio Felix da Costa's dominance has all but defused the title fight 1596758400 FE

How Red Bull's other 2020 star has made Marko "really happy" Max Verstappen has strongly led the charge for Red Bull so far in Formula 1 2020, mixing it with the mighty Mercedes team on occasion. But another driver on the energy drink giant's books has also been delivering fine performances this season 1596758400 F1

Why the FIA's Racing Point verdict pleases nobody While Racing Point blasted a "bewildering" 15-point penalty and €400k fine, many F1 teams felt it had gotten away lightly with running illegal brake ducts. Rather than providing closure, the FIA's ruling instead presents questions aplenty 1596758400 F1
