Talk:Adrian Newey

Engineered who?
From 1992 through 2004 the World Drivers Championship was an exclusive battle between 'Schuey' and 'Newey', with Michael Schumacher driving to 7 titles whilst Adrian Newey engineered Mansell, Prost, Hill, Villeneuve and Hakinnen to 6 titles. I understand the implication of what's being said here, but I don't think it's fair to Nigel Mansell and Alain Prost to suggest that Newey won their titles for them. Those two were more than capable of beating Michael Schumacher in any kind of decent machinery, not to mention that Schumi wasn't second in the WDC in either year (Patrese-1992, Senna-1993). Now for Hill, Villeneuve and Hakkinen, that's a different story... Jsc1973 14:57, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Text been changed, since all Schumachers car where designed by the same designer it made more sense to make it their battle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.19.27.152 (talk) 14:13, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Constructors titles record & James Allison
By my counting, James Allison has now also won 10 F1 constructors titles. And has also won titles with 3 different teams. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.55.135 (talk) 23:04, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Where are the citations?
This article is seriously short of citations. I was going to fill some in, but I don't know where the editors got their information from.

There are hardly any citations for the whole of Newey's F1 career - and none at all for his 6 years at Williams.

Perhaps those who wrote this text could add some sources for what they wrote?

Excessive negativity about racing career
There is a pretty strong and clear empasis on crashes and accidents when discussing his racing. Im not sure I understand why crashes are being emphasized instead of discussing thing like how many races, competitions, etc. Maybe some can shed some light, because he's no Grosjean or Mazepin who gained a specific reputation for it. 8.9.95.234 (talk) 00:43, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
