As has been widely reported in the past, when Newey has free reign, he is pretty unbeatable. McLaren introduced changes at the start of the millennium to ensure nobody is indispensable by introducing a structure that has nobody in absolute charge of technical stuff. Under his free reign, he won championships in 92, 93, 94, 96, 97, 98 and 99. When he then freed himself from the McLaren structure, he also won in 2010, 11, 12 and 13.
And then if it wasn't for Michael Schumacher, Adrian would have won in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005 as well. (2004 car wasn't fast enough nor was 2006).
Incredible rate of success since 1992. He just dominated the 1990s. Only to beaten just a mere three times, 1991, 1994, 1995 (all because of superior drivers in Ayrton Senna in 1991 and Michael Schumacher in 1994-1995).
