Adrian Newey, the legendary F1 car designer, celebrates his 65th birthday today. This year, he contributed to yet another championship-winning car, the RB19, which dominated the 2023 F1 constructors’ and drivers’ world championships, winning 21 of 22 grands prix. However, this is not Newey’s first championship-winning car, as he has been involved in the design of 14 title-winning cars. His first championship success came in 1992 with the Williams FW14B Renault, with Nigel Mansell winning the drivers’ title. Newey’s innovative design included active suspension and traction control, making it one of the most legendary cars in F1 history. In 1993, Newey’s Williams FW15C Renault, driven by Alain Prost, showcased advanced electronics and driver aids, leading to another dominant season for Williams. Tragically, in 1994, Ayrton Senna lost his life while driving Newey’s Williams FW16, which faced challenges due to changes in aerodynamics regulations. Williams managed to overcome these difficulties and went on to win the constructors’ championship that year.
