Results achieved in the past are no garantee for the future.
Newey is the last of a kind. Only designer who doesn't design on a computer. I'm not sure how long he can continue doing that. Anyway, Newey missed the mark as well sometimes so, like some of the latter Mclarens he did.
but it is a sign of ability over someone who has helped a team win none.
lets not forget where his fragile designed cars are in the championship shall we.
We could just as easily say are the engines are failing due to renault cherry picking the best engines/parts when it comes to dispatching their customer engines.
To a team who are willing to order one of their drivers to crash surely cherry picking the best and leaving the rest for customers would not even be seen as cheating.
As for brakes failing due to wearing out who really thinks that the brake thickness for a race is decided by the designer of the car surely that is down to the team who decide the race weekend technical needs?
Airflow while it can be mainly down the the designer will not be all down to him due to all the cfd that is done on cars to ensure overheating does not occur ( as well as all the other work the cfd teams do) and clearly the cfd teams would be ensuring if any potentual problems were found that they never got onto the cars, not to mention it is only at this one track we saw the problem and as stated there was talk of the problem being down to the thickness of braking materials needed being under estimated.
