Adrian Newey has been dubbed Formula 1's design 'unicorn', and with this list, it is easy to see why.
Adrian Newey has earned a roll of honour in Formula 1 like no other individual across the decades, designing cars to win titles throughout eras.
We’re sure you won’t grumble about that. But in any case, when you look at this list, Newey really has been at the forefront of producing some cracking cars – not least from the season just gone.The 2021 season was one of the all-time greats in Formula 1 history, with Max Verstappen in the Red Bull RB16B dicing with Lewis Hamilton all season long in the Mercedes W12.
The MP4-20 was a big part of the reason behind that, combined with two extremely quick drivers in Kimi Raikkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya behind the wheel. Nonetheless, still a superb piece of machinery which was the only one to continually compete with Renault all year long.Newey’s incredibly successful time with Williams came to an end at the end of 1996 and after he moved to McLaren, his first real task was to bring his new team forward by taking charge of their 1998 challenger, while making improvements to what they put out in 1997.
First was traction control to help in acceleration, but the advanced aerodynamics, semi-automatic gearbox and active suspension system would prove to be a real game-changer in Formula 1. Without the reigning World Champion on the grid, this left Prost running the number ‘2’ on his car and Hill the number ‘0’, but the FW15C was still very much the number one force in Formula 1 to continue the success of its predecessor.
These ‘driver aids’ would be banned from 1994, but Williams made the most of the technological advances they made while they were available to them.While Red Bull were in a titanic battle for supremacy throughout 2010, the following season proved to be an altogether more dominant affair – for Vettel especially.
Vettel, who had a penchant for naming his chassis, called his RB9 base ‘Hungry Heidi’ for the year ahead as he searched for a fourth consecutive title – and it certainly played host to moments of Formula 1 history. Such was the speed within the FW18 under the control of Hill and Jacques Villeneuve, Williams won the Constructors’ Championship with four races to spare.
Ferrari’s F1-75 was more than a stern competitor for most of the season, though – taking more pole positions than any other team throughout the year.
