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)
AMR25 in lead designer table
Should we be including the AMR25 in his table of results? He was not involved in the AMR25's development, and it is unclear whether he will be involved in its upgrade cycle at all. MB2437 17:46, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
- Per Sky Sports:
Newey's arrival at Aston Martin comes with their car for the forthcoming 2025 season already having been designed and, last week in Bahrain, tested with the Briton's main focus this year likely to be on F1's major rules change for 2026,
[...] - Per BBC Sport:
Newey's start date means he is too late to influence the initial design of the team's 2025 car – but is in time to turn his attention to the major new technical rules coming to F1 in 2026
. - Per Autoevolution:
Due to his late arrival, the Brit will focus on designing the 2026 car, the first of a new regulation cycle.
- Per Newey himself:
My concentration will clearly be on 2026
witha little bit [of involvement] in the 2025 car
. MB2437 19:40, 4 March 2025 (UTC)- I don't think he should receive credit as a lead designer (to say otherwise would imply that he violated the terms of his gardening leave), but it is too soon to tell about the upgrades. Namelessposter (talk) 20:13, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
- I second namelessposter. At this stage it is nothing other than absurd to credit him with the AMR25. To date the only impact he has had at Aston is whatever Aston have copied of Red Bull. When we get upgrades to the AMR25, we can reconsider. But for now, he should not be creditied. SSSB (talk) 20:17, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
