Newey is the best! Staying relevant for over four decades in F1 and creating winning cars in (nearly) every era is simply astonishing. Not even Chapman could do that.
still I wonder if people ever looked at it the other way around: instead of Newey making the cars that made his drivers champions, maybe he had some insane drivers driving his creations (Mansell, Prost, Vettel, Verstappen, Hakkinen) which led to his cars winning? I'm not saying it is per se the case, but for instance in 2021 had it been anyone but Max in that car there would be no WDC for RB. Even 2022 if RB had a slightly worse driver and Ferrari hadn't been as stupid they wouldn't have won WDC. I'm not saying this is the case or that I think it is, but it's something we should consider at least!
He has been designing since 1989 though… that’s 34 years. That’s only 38% of the time. So who were the unsung designers for the other 62% of this time period? Also, he has made many many duds. Just ask McLaren.
@@mrorangepeel659 Only 38% of the time he is the world champion car designer lol. That ”only” transfered into 13 championships lol. What a crazy comment you made.
The undisputed GOAT of racecar design. We all see how good the current RB car is but even when they were in the Renault years Newey had them competitive through superior aero. There have been plenty of great designers over the years but I cannot think of anyone who revolutionized openwheel racecar design over as many eras and disciplines as Newey. He has been winning for nearly as long as the entirety of the current F1 grid has been alive too which is legendary on its own.
As much as I would love to learn and understand how Newey's mind works, I'm much more intrigued with how he leads and manages the creativity of a technical team because -- at the end of the day -- building a race car is never a one-man job.
this is pretty much it, a lot of praise for the man, but the designs are not his alone, his experience is what helps him and Horner manage RB designers to design the best car, and this is where I think Allison has the edge, Adrian might be more technical and knowledgeable, but Allison being an excellent leader and a people person puts him on top.
Indy 500 demands are different from any other oval or race. It used to be back in the day, pre 90s, people would build a car or engine specifically just for Indy 500 because the rules for that race were slightly different than the rest of the series.
@Real28 only thing that really changed was that the engines are spec through the season. Now the aero is very different, there's been a huge understanding of drag now so instead of high hp(hope it lasts) engines they are less stressed and they know they can last the distance. While the more hp was more interesting because they could always blow up, it wasn't truly as interesting as a show of driver skill

From everyone in F1 through the many (30+) years I've been following it, from drivers to team bosses, I've always been mostly a fan of Adrian. "I mean Adrian is the only bloke who can see air!"
Absolutely brilliant video. Must be one of my all time favourites. You got through so much material in this. Information density massive. Thank you so much for this.
As a Ferrari fan, I have nothing but respect for Adrian Newey. The guy has been at the top of his game for decades! When Ferrari beat McLaren to the title in 2000, that was more than just winning for Ferrari (even though Ferrari had to wait 21 year for another title), we've beaten one of the best designers in F1 history and it was one of Adrian Newey's cars! Though prior to 2000 when Schumi, Brawn, and Ferrari made miracles, winning races that we shouldn't have was just as sweet!
The talking bull podcast with Adrian was really interesting a few weeks back, he stated he draws in 2D on paper and he has two designers that upload his drawing into the CFD model, he said CFD only became mainstream in the mid 90s and he couldn't adapt to draw on a computer, Adrians designs have influenced so many different regulations, with his current design philosophy being either copied inspired by 8 other teams on the current grid.
@@bowelrupture a last minute and massive rule change would do that. If a car is designed from the ground up with driver aids in mind, then at the 11th hour the driver aids are banned, you need to start again, which isn't an easy thing in F1 with the lead time of design and testing and manufacture considered.
I didn't realise you raced in Indy lights. Would be good to have a video of your perception of how Jamie Chadwick is getting on. I kind of expected to see her a lot higher up the grid???
I guess her's is another one of those cases where a driver does great and wins everything and then has a slump as soon as he reaches a higher series. Happens alot in f1. Everyone was hyping up Devries because he was doing pretty good over his career but here he is in f1 being at the back of the field
@@MapleShrimp true but he's getting outperformed by yuki by a large margin. I know it's his rookie season but goddman with the hype people gave him you would expect more of him
Great video. As other commenters have said, he’s a legend and can name his price. Williams didn’t appreciate him and they have never recovered. Would be good to do a video on his peers in the other teams. Newey is the only designer I know. Maybe the other teams design by committee
I knew he was a smart guy, but after reading his book and the insight he has to chassis setup, ride heights etc, and knowledge of the complete car end to end really makes him an unstoppable force when it comes to designing cars. He doesn't just focus on aerodynamics like others in his role, even swapping the pushrods end to end last year for mechanical AND aerodynamic effect and knowing what both will do to driveability and tire wear plus the aero bonuses
During the Channel 4 coverage of the Barcelona race yesterday, David Coulthard pointed something very interesting out. What with McLaren spending an absolute fortune on a new wind tunnel, it turns out that Red Bull uses one from the 1960s! I doubt that Newey is slightly bothered. Yes, please do a video on the DRS! It's fascinating!
When the 2022 season brought back ground effect, Newey was like "yeah, I have done that before! know how to do that. need to watch out for porpoising". All the others were experiencing it only at the first test week...
Newey is a true genius. I will also add that Mercedes shot themselves in the foot - once the 2022 ground effect rules were being agreed and talked about, Newey was working on the ground effect Valkyrie that now bears the Aston Martin name while Mercedes engineers were focusing a lot of time and effort on the Project one which is based on 2016 technology.
12 Drivers' titles, right? Newey's achievements are amazing but I'm sure his cars have won 12 - 4 Williams (92, 93, 96, 97), 2 McLaren (98, 99) and 6 Red Bull (10, 11, 12, 13, 21, 22). If you add Constructors, it's way more than that - his cars have won 11 so total titles in F1 should be 23.
Newey is just built different with a genius brain for sleek, efficient and effective (and championship winning) designs). I would love to see a video of my favorite team Red Bull’s dominating and masterful double DRS system. Let’s make it happen Scott.
The man is just on another level. The sheer amount of skill to build championship-winning cars in four different eras of F1 so to speak is absolutely ridiculous.
I recently finished the Newey's book and was looking for a companion video to see visuals about all Newey's cars, this is exactly what I was looking for, thanks Scott and team. Would love to watch more of those 😀
Pushed engineering to breakup the battery into 4 smaller units for better placement... Gotta be the GOAT of the team for the team to believe in spending the time and effort to get it done. And well spent it has been. The moment he speaks, everyone stops to listen and ponder
A video about the double DRS System of Red Bull would be very interesting. One of the reasons why red bull is so dominant right now is their high straightline speed and drs effectiveness, so to here about this in a video would be great and interessing.
Amazing video. In the end, the quality of engineering is what wins championship. Drivers only account for the last 10%. Engineers like Newey are the true unsung heroes of F1.
Horner: "Adrian is the only one who can see air". Actually that was first said in the 1940s by Lockheed of Kelly Johnson, future designer of the SR-71 and U2 and many others in the "Skunkworks".
It's really interesting to see how creative Newey has been through the years, impressive. Also they had so much freedom in the past with active suspension, aero etc. I wonder how fast the cars would be today if they got more freedom. But especially I wonder what innovations they would come up with.
Great video… to think that he was able inspire so much innovation across the field makes me think if F1 can get Newey to design the blueprint for the next regulations. Imagine every team having a Newey concept to start with. It would be beautiful!
Newey wasn't involved in the FW12 from 89. He started at Williams with the FW14, two years later. Around that time, he was with March/Leyton House, building the aerodynamically most advanced cars on the grid.
The Aston Valkyrie is simply stunning, that design is top notch, taking inspiration and aero parameters from F1, merged with a modern hyper car metrics.. absolute class!
The most impressive part of Newey’s career is how he can come up with better solutions than anyone else in just about any type of regulation. If you look at most of the periods where he wasn’t dominating, he had limiting factors outside of his control, like engine power or tyres. Seems that just about every time he was given an even start, he came up with a better car.
6:18 hearing Adrian say Indy cars at the time were more sophisticated than F1, seems outrageous from our perspective now. It’s sad to think what might have been had Indy not split up in the 90’s into two different race leagues. We might have been privileged to enjoy two premium single seater series at the highest level of engineering. Indy has began to recover in recent years but with cost caps and spec formula it still has a way to go.
Awesome vid. I’m reading Neweys book ‘How to build a car’ and am at 1997 now in it. Its awesome. Its funny, an adventure, biography, tech book for all to understand, all in one👍 Newey is a visionary genius and a hilariously funny guy as well 🤗
He just sees life in a different way from the rest of us. To have so many titles across multiple disciplines and the ultimate prize of F1 Trend setter. You have to applaud his talent, and his ability to bring people together under his ideas.
Adrian is one of the most important figures in all of sports, the inner workings of his mind has trickled down to things we use today just to get our passenger cars better fuel economy. A true genius.
Maybe not smart of a rb fan to share this notable thing aswell. But Newey even makes fans jump teams, since we also love who's most sensible at a track and with the car. Man those Mika days were awesome. Really resembles the sweet championcombo with Honda today.
What's funny about the 90's and 00's/010's is that, besides Ferrari and the Schumacher Era, every other team to win a title was pretty much just Newey bouncing around drawing up a new dominant car for the highest bidder. 😂
What you content makers still don't realize is that Newey did lots of ground effect technology studies in the Aston Martin Valkeiry road car project which findings are incorporated in the RB18. That was a very clever move as it bypassed the budget cap completely.
The RB19 is what you get IRL when your design team knows that F1 Manager bug that lets you turn all the slides on new parts all the way up and still gaining on everything. They've basically done that, except in real life.
Its amazing that Merc or Ferrari didn't try to poach Newey before the 2022 reg changes. Well, I'm sure they did but Newey seems to be very content staying with Red Bull. He's a genius.
La F1 sin Newey no sería lo mismo un verdadero genio creador de parte de los F1 más dominantes a lo largo de la historia una verdadera leyenda .Que con cuaderno a mano sorprende a todos por sus diseños espero por unos cuantos años más nos sorprenda este genio de lápiz y del cuaderno un crack💪
I am currently reading his book, "How to build a car". It really is worth a read, especially in the perspective of a motorsport fan and definitely as an engineering student.
Ferrari never able to take him into their ranks to me will be the biggest shortcoming. Such a shame he didn't want to come to Italy, what an absolute genius
Who needs the sea if you can have mountains??? And if you need water, check we've got it. Fresh mountain water in gigagallons. Schnitzels, Apfelstrudel and Sachertorte, who needs Pasta and Pizza, OK, me, thats why I have the aerodynamic properties of an elephant, with the uk's kings ears flapping in the wind.

I remember Adrian when he was at March & then later at McLaren usually deep in thought but a nice guy with no ego would always say hi & be polite, I cant say the same of all f1 designers/tech chiefs over the years
As Martin Brundle said in spain: Whatever the top F1 drivers are paid, Adrian deserves at least that too. The man is an absolute genius

Horner: "Adrian is the only one who can see air". Actually that was first said in the 1940s by Lockheed of Kelly Johnson, future designer of the SR-71 and U2 and many others in the "Skunkworks".
Such a well made Video, the pace of your story telling and the mix of videos matching what you are talking about, make this video just very good
It's really interesting to see how creative Newey has been through the years, impressive.
Also they had so much freedom in the past with active suspension, aero etc. I wonder how fast the cars would be today if they got more freedom. But especially I wonder what innovations they would come up with.
Great video… to think that he was able inspire so much innovation across the field makes me think if F1 can get Newey to design the blueprint for the next regulations. Imagine every team having a Newey concept to start with. It would be beautiful!
Newey wasn't involved in the FW12 from 89. He started at Williams with the FW14, two years later. Around that time, he was with March/Leyton House, building the aerodynamically most advanced cars on the grid.
The Aston Valkyrie is simply stunning, that design is top notch, taking inspiration and aero parameters from F1, merged with a modern hyper car metrics.. absolute class!
The most impressive part of Newey’s career is how he can come up with better solutions than anyone else in just about any type of regulation.
If you look at most of the periods where he wasn’t dominating, he had limiting factors outside of his control, like engine power or tyres.
Seems that just about every time he was given an even start, he came up with a better car.
Really fantastic episode, thanks for putting this together!!
There will never be another newey, his influence on Motorsport is awe inspiring
Thank you Scott...
Awesome video thanks for the insight! Loved the research you can clearly see you've put in.
6:18 hearing Adrian say Indy cars at the time were more sophisticated than F1, seems outrageous from our perspective now. It’s sad to think what might have been had Indy not split up in the 90’s into two different race leagues. We might have been privileged to enjoy two premium single seater series at the highest level of engineering. Indy has began to recover in recent years but with cost caps and spec formula it still has a way to go.
Awesome vid. I’m reading Neweys book ‘How to build a car’ and am at 1997 now in it. Its awesome. Its funny, an adventure, biography, tech book for all to understand, all in one👍 Newey is a visionary genius and a hilariously funny guy as well 🤗
Best quote that shows how genius Adrian is : the only man who see air !
Newey is a one in a lifetime product....
Happy to have witnessed it.
Everyone looks at the drivers to decide who is the GOAT of F1, but with the importance of cars, I think Adrian Newey should be considered.
saying of the century ( Adrian can see air ) brilliant , what a designer .
Hats off to Adrian Newey for his incredible contributions to Formula 1!
Amazing video. Amazing car designer. Without a doubt the greatest in F1’s history. Amazing career. I didn’t know he started in Indy 😮
He just sees life in a different way from the rest of us.
To have so many titles across multiple disciplines and the ultimate prize of F1 Trend setter.
You have to applaud his talent, and his ability to bring people together under his ideas.
Rory Byrne was also a good designer - helped Michael Schumacer considerably.
Adrian literally has a built in CFD in his brain. What a genius.
Adrian is one of the most important figures in all of sports, the inner workings of his mind has trickled down to things we use today just to get our passenger cars better fuel economy. A true genius.
Maybe not smart of a rb fan to share this notable thing aswell. But Newey even makes fans jump teams, since we also love who's most sensible at a track and with the car. Man those Mika days were awesome. Really resembles the sweet championcombo with Honda today.
Newey is a design thinking genius.
Yes! We want to hear about that!
This was so interesting, thanks Scott!
A genius, once in a lifetime skill
I'd love to see longer in-depth tech videos on various cars!
What's funny about the 90's and 00's/010's is that, besides Ferrari and the Schumacher Era, every other team to win a title was pretty much just Newey bouncing around drawing up a new dominant car for the highest bidder. 😂
The guy is an absolute genius. The day he retires will be a sad day for F1.
Newey is an actual god. Almost surprising he doesn't work for LM and Skunk Works. Mans more than brilliant. Its scary honestly.
What you content makers still don't realize is that Newey did lots of ground effect technology studies in the Aston Martin Valkeiry road car project which findings are incorporated in the RB18. That was a very clever move as it bypassed the budget cap completely.
The RB19 is what you get IRL when your design team knows that F1 Manager bug that lets you turn all the slides on new parts all the way up and still gaining on everything. They've basically done that, except in real life.
Awesome Video! Thank you for your hard work
Its amazing that Merc or Ferrari didn't try to poach Newey before the 2022 reg changes. Well, I'm sure they did but Newey seems to be very content staying with Red Bull. He's a genius.
I've known about Newey's brilliance for years. Everywhere he goes he wins...and wins BIG!! He is the Stradivari of racecar design.
The Layton House was a great looking car in its time
La F1 sin Newey no sería lo mismo un verdadero genio creador de parte de los F1 más dominantes a lo largo de la historia una verdadera leyenda .Que con cuaderno a mano sorprende a todos por sus diseños espero por unos cuantos años más nos sorprenda este genio de lápiz y del cuaderno un crack💪
Him and max working together is a cheat code
I am currently reading his book, "How to build a car". It really is worth a read, especially in the perspective of a motorsport fan and definitely as an engineering student.
The key line in this vid is "Adrian can see air!" yes absolute genius!
Ferrari never able to take him into their ranks to me will be the biggest shortcoming. Such a shame he didn't want to come to Italy, what an absolute genius
Who needs the sea if you can have mountains??? And if you need water, check we've got it. Fresh mountain water in gigagallons. Schnitzels, Apfelstrudel and Sachertorte, who needs Pasta and Pizza, OK, me, thats why I have the aerodynamic properties of an elephant, with the uk's kings ears flapping in the wind.
I am a dutch, fanatic Max Verstapppen fan, and I have a justified mistrust toward all english F1 pundits and comments. But you are a professional, honest, non biased, and edicational analist, so I can fairly say you are are my all time favorite, if the subject is F1.
Thank you for sharing these secrets. It is without a doubt in my mind that in the next race all teams will have adapted these secrets.
I know it's an older vid but would love to see more about RB's double diffuser design.
I remember Adrian when he was at March & then later at McLaren usually deep in thought but a nice guy with no ego would always say hi & be polite, I cant say the same of all f1 designers/tech chiefs over the years
