Hey everyone! Thank you so much for the great reception and feedback!
This is my first video and I would like to point out a few mistakes I did.
- I said I.M.S.A. When it’s pronounced IMSA ask one word.
- when speaking of the Fitipaldi Automotive, I accidentally put a Emerson Fitipaldi’s Lotus F1 car
- I also misspoke and said “Manson” instead of “Mansell” a couple of times.
Great Documentary. All F1 fans should watch this. Thanks for your work. We'll done.
Good documentary, especially for a 1st video !
And with your own voice, not another dead text to speech robot video.
I like the no nonsense style.
Dude, for your first video this is better than 99.999% of YT's entire platform; keep 'em coming, you've got some skills!
Awesomeness! ❤
"It's not worth that amount of money just to keep Adrian Newey"
Son Adrian Newey is worth any amount of money
OH MY GOD, what a mastermind Adrian Newey is! I’m totally speechless after watching the entire documentary!
Newey left Williams not because he didn’t get the technical director role, but because Frank wouldnt give him equity. That’s what it was all about from the beginning. Newey wanted skin in the game and Frank/head always delayed and deflected. Once Newey found out he wasn’t going to get a cut he jumped ship and the Newey curse has afflicted Williams ever since! Good riddance. When you have a top talent you give them something no one else will, a small piece of that ppphhhhat money pie!
Williams and Head fucked him over a couple of times...
How we know that it is true?
@@kakhak It's in Newey's autobiography.
@@kieranmcmahon1745 it’s a good book, and can’t help but wonder had Newey been given what he wanted how Williams would be today,,,,
Williams made two mistakes: 1) Not recognising a genius when they saw one 2) Not recognising that F1 had changed from a gizmo’s led business that Patrick Head was taylor made for at the end of 1993 to an aero led one that Newey was tailor made for by the time of his departure from Williams came about. A Newey Williams with a 950bhp BMW engine in the back of it and the Schumacher brothers driving it would have cleaned up for years on end in the same way Ferrari did…
I think it's save to say now during the summer break and only 9 races left that you can probably add 2022 to the list as well for Adrian Newey producing a championship winning car.. The man is a true F1 legend..
Adrian is my son and im so proud
I have always been a fan of Adrian Newey. Guy is a legend and a genius. He can make miracles happen.
I've been looking for something like this about Newey for a while and couldn't find anything. This is great man. Very interesting and amazing story. Great stuff! 🤙
I appreciate it! I was doing the same, and couldn’t find any. So I decided to do my own.
Can recommend his book, 'how to build a race car'. I listened to the audio book
@@chestermartin2356 awesome, thank you! I'll definitely check that out!
Adrian Newey is the reason why i studied mechanical engineering and i intend to continue in motor vehicle engineering.
Wow, That’s great! I wish you the best.
This was a GREAT first video: you didn't needlessly inject your own opinions, tons of history, and you did a fantastic job of editing. Comparable to HITC Seven (football YTer) and yet your first outing. Well done...
Except he called Indy Cars F1.
I remember when Adrian had been at McLaren for some time and wanted to branch-out into designing Americas cup yachts.
This montage puts Newey's amazing input relating to F1 into perspective. Thank you.
Let's boost this channel .... great work !!!
Hard to believe so few subs to this channel. Very well made video. As another mentioned I was looking for something like this about Newey. Subbed
I appreciate it! Working on the second documentary video now.
I guess Adrian Newey will be having another record under his name for this 2022 season, Ferrari needs to change their strategy so that they can complete properly.
Great video! Thank you for making this. Newey makes any team a championship contender if he is allowed total freedom and no restriction. He makes f1 much more exciting. I would love to see what he could make if he was in charge of a spec series with no restrictions other than to allow the cars to race close.
Great video! hope to see more documentaries from you, keep it up.
Thank you! Second one in the works now.
" During his time there he completed a project in which he studied ground effect aerodynamics on racing cars"
Bet that will be a huge boon to his employer in i dunno 35 years give or take. Suddenly the dominance of the RB18 seems to have been a guarantee from the start.
Awesome video, thanks for all the work into it
I enjoyed that video - nice work - Newey is one of the titans of Motorsport and really is one-of-a-kind.
Makes you wonder how damaging it will be when Newey eventually steps away from Red Bull.
Williams never recovered from losing him, and some have argued that Mclaren have struggled for stable and consistently excellent aero since he left them (accept for the F Duct). Cheers.
Thank you!
Yes he’s definitely a pillar of the sport, and will most definitely affect Red Bull when he decides to retire.
The reason I love RedBull is that they have Newey and they always work their problems together. As I understand Ferrari really wants Newey, but the answer from Horner is that they ain't short on money for the genius. What Ferrari wants and needs is throwing away the Italian toxic ego.
Fully agree atomhammer
@@antoinebuhler5427 you are exactly right about Ferrari, they are too proud of their Italian heritage. The only time they really dominated in the last 30 years was when they had Jean Todt, Ross Braun and Michael Schumacher…..The very best people could be coming from any one of a hundred countries. That why the other teams will always have that advantage…
Much better then the flashy regurgitated F1 news every1 copies
This is great. I didn’t know much about him at all before. Keep up the great work 👍
Slick tires were run in 97' last time before 2009'.
In 1990 they almost won a race with Leyton House, they were second in French GP. He was sacked in summer of 90' so it's even more mesmerizing how he managed to create FW14 in time for 91' season. There was probably some work already done by some other people but since all out testing was allowed kind of made it easier at that time. Gearbox was the issue of that car. Also it would be nice to mention some technical terms as active suspension cause it was main reason for dominance. It was originally tested by Lotus. If you add pretty advanced traction control and launch control and really good Renault engine i wouldn't say it was dominant mostly due to Newey's design. Also both cars FW14 and FW14B were overweight. Blown diffuser and coanda exhaust come up to my mind as one of the most interesting designs of the new era...keep up the good work
He's smashing it this year also
Good job on Adrian's bio. Thanks. These designers never get enough credit for what is not an easy job. Also, hard to believe this is your first video!
Great Documentary. Well done.
Thank you for the content!!
If I could give you two likes I would, great video!
Amazing , thank u for all info
For a first video, this is great! Good job,
I think it would be so cool to have Newey and some people that he's worked with through the years sit down and talk about their cars.
Awesome video . You got yourself new subscriber !
Success followed Adrian Newey. In the early to mid 90's Williams was unbeatable, because Newey was there. He left. Williams declined never to recover. He went to McClaren, then they became the best. Now he is with Red Bull, and they are the best. If I had an F1 team, I would want Mr Newey in a senior role designing and developing the car. Nobody else can match his record. He must be a genius.
Imagine Newey at mercedes 🤯
That's not right that nobody can match his record... Aldo Costa has won more titles than Newey, with over 30. And in terms of success rate (world championships per year as chief engineer, etc.), Newey "only" has 1.52 titles per season, while Rory Byrne has 1.72 and Ross Brawn even more than 1.80.
@@fam.hunger5244 I think you are splitting hairs and I can't be bothered. Obviously, they are all very good, they all have impressive records. I am not going to sit here with a piece of paper and a calculator to work out titles per season, it just gets like a Mont Python sketch.
Super well done! Really enjoyed it!
This has to be one of the most in depth formula one videos I’ve ever seen
Nice content , subbed 👍
Great video, really enjoyed it! Thanks. Looking forward to watching more of these.
Great video
Interesting and comprehensive. Please do more videos about people in the background of racing, you’re on to an interesting niche! Subscribed.
Thank! I appreciate the feedback. They require quite a lot of research so they will be a little slow to produce.
nice made video sir
I would mention Mauro Forghieri as well, for his 7 constructors, 6 Sport LeMans titles, 330P3/4 design (most likely the most beautiful and perfect racer of all time), 4 F1 driver championships, remarkably as chassis designer, (invented aerodynamics in F1) AND engine designer, NA v12, v8, v6 biTurbo, v10 BMW 3L (invented and tested semiautomatic gears already in 1982, the project was then rebooted by Barnard). Newey is a genius, but has at least an equally exceptional older companion
Thanks!
The wing was after Colin Chapman had successfully fitted albiet a much simpler wing at the Monaco Grand Prix a few weeks earlier, so technically Colin Chapman was the first to fit a rear wing, but Mauri was the first to fit an inverted shaped aircraft style wing. But I think between Mauro, Colin and Adrian we have the holy trinity of F1 design, with honourable mentions for Rory Byrne and John Barnard.
@@simply_psi fair enough. But Forghieri designed any aspect of the car, included engines (v6, v8, v12, aspirated, and Turbo) and won in F1 as well as in Sports car at Le Mans and Daytona. A truly all around car mastermind. But I agree with you about the dream team option
@@youerny In this modern corporate world, I guess we will never see his like again, modern teams would be too conservative to give one person so much control over a team. Shame the sport needs more mavericks like Mauro Forghieri, and biy could Ferrari do with his genius at fhe moment.
This man hates Air so much he dedicated his whole life to make sure it goes around a car.
Adrian Newey, The Last Airbender.
So pretty much what I take from this video is that newey is the f1 cheat code
Nice documentary, best played at 1.25 speed. BTW, the "s" in Jacques is silent. Those who would like to know more about Mr. Newey's should read his autobiography: How to build a car.
A 950bhp Newey designed Williams-BMW, roaring down the main strait at Monza to yet another crushing pole position…there’s a what if for you…
the best statment on once said in the 90`s and 2000`s : it was not michael against hakkinen or against hill, it was allways michael schumacher against adrien newey.
Great work man, especially as a starting channel. Subbed for more! Are you Swedish? Your "s" sounds like it. Excellent English, hope to see you grow.
No I’m Latino, thank you for the kind words!
Very well done. Salute!
Watching this video in 2023,
We are witnessing the Greatest F1 Engineering Marvel Created by the GrandMaster Aero God Adrian Newey, Driven by the Mighty Dutchman is straight up slaughtering the Competition right now with Records being broken as early as Mid of the Season.
Ofcourse we are talking about the all conquering RB19
38:18 It WILL....mark my words...
this is a great video, and i just realized you only have 67 subs. Great stuff - but I would recommend adding some light background music
Great work! Greetings from Paraguay
This was a great video! But I have a suggestion - the pace of the video feels a little slow, pacing it a bit faster would make it even better than it already is. Once again, great job
Thanks for the feedback!
Even at that speed, it took a lot of concentration to retain the content. Speed might make it sound more interesting, but not sure it would do the overall video any favours :)
GREAT VIDEO
Subscribed! Perhaps some editing and a lil reverb would help your narration, otherwise, its good!🙏
I’ll work on that! Thank you.
The intro assumes Adrian Newey died in 1974
Great 👍👍 More please 😎 Subscribed 👍
it was at the end o1997 when they changed from slick to grooved tyres
Yes 1997, I believe I said 1998. The 1998 season was the first season without slicks.
The history f1 could be told as a contest between him and Ross Brawn.
32:19 Didnt di Montezemolo essentially offer Newey essentially the entire Scuderia
Not sure, I’m going based on his book “how to build a race car”
All these old sponsors bringing back the feels.
Don't know how he could blame himself for Senna. Had Senna not requested a closer steering wheel, the extension that broke and caused the crash would have probably never happened!
Why are all the photos ai clones, how did you make Coulthards jaw way more square
Newey, brawn, murray...some of the engineers who designed some of the recent championship racing cars...
Newey vs Brawn, about 20 years of great battles : Williams, Bennetton, McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes
wait im going to the same university as him lol and for the same course :)
Sort of just be careful it was for Max Verstappen I don't know if we'd be saying this right now. Because the car that Red Bull has is good but it not great.
Completely wrong and misleading title. The most successful F1 engineer/designer is Aldo Costa since the F1 cars designed by him won 14 constructors world championships and 12 drivers world championships for a combined 26 titles.
He was comprehensively beaten by Rory Byrne during Ferrari domination though.
He sure did, maybe I’ll do a video on Rory Byrne some day.
@@drivebar2252 I would surely watch that!
@@drivebar2252 also keep up the good work, the CZcams algorithm sent me here
@@drivebar2252 that would be interesting too. Statistically Adrian is more successful but he is much more active too for longer periods while Rory hasn't been much active after 2004 yet his record at that time was unmatched and he won the head-to-head battle against Adrian's cars back then.
John Surtees would make a great film F1 & MotoGP World Champion 😳😳👍👍👍
Thanks for the suggestion!
@@drivebar2252 Yes! Do one of John Surtees.! He is the only one to win the motorcyckle racing title and the F1 title. I followd motorcykle GP after seing and hearing the Gilera 500 four in the hands of Geoff Duke in the Swedish Hedemora race 1956 or 1957 ( I was 6-7 years old ). Surtees drove MV agusta four cyl, but the sound of the Gilera was the best!
Newey vs bono
Southampton is a university not school.

williams .. i somehow love how they became the laughing stock of the F1. this is what pride and an hughe ego makes of you. rather than giving newey a part of the team .. frankyboy gave it to his daugther and she completly FROCKED IT UP! :D:D:D this lady was the worst thing that yould happend to williams! and instead of binding one of the smartest minds the F1 has to offer to your team forever .. you give it to your spoiled brat .. a girl that isnt even interessted in F1 but has an ego as if it was she herself who brought williams up to top tear!
Hope to see them at the top again someday.
@@drivebar2252 me too! it was the best times when william was on top! it wasnt a major company but pure love for the f1 .. thats why i was so mad that frank gave it to claire just to see them go down to the very last spot! and instead stepping down after seeing what she was doing to the team .. no no no .. ms williams still wouldnt accept her defeat and keep holding on to her position .. so long .. that her father had to witness the death of his whole lifes accomplishment in jsut a few years! THANKS CLAIR! you spoiled incapable brat. and be honest .. if .. as a top tear driver .. you (to a certain degree) have the comfort to decide on your own .. which cockpit you wanna drive .. who would like to drive for her. a girl that was just born into this racing family or someone who dedicated his life to this and gave his EVERYTHING to be there! and all of that was shown to the world in EVERY race and even that netflix documentary! im so angry because i loooved william .. but this thing isnt williams anymore .. its more or less another lifeless corporate jointventrue to have a bit fun in the backstages with unlimited "all access cards" .. pathetic! ;)
The downfall of Williams can be contributed to two men Adrien Newey & Damon Hill. Fact. Williams have yet to recover from that calamitous decision. The rest they say is history
the fall of mclaren can be contriuted to Newey too he left 2005 and they used neweys based cars until 2013 and then never recovered
@@brunogiannella2078 I agree
Yes, decision was completely wrong and stupid.
38:05 They have Max Verstappen......a totally different league than LH.....What this guy does , even with lesser material is mindblowing....There is no iterartion of LH that can match that....LH can only win championships with "perfect" material...
Shut you mouth please. What was Max winning in that "not to so perfect car" if not for both Merc DNFs like Spain 2016?
Is that why Max won so many championships by not having ’perfect material’? Your comment is contradictory.
Hamilton is a much better racer than vertsappen
2021 was not controversial, it was a robbery
Newey is an amazing F1 designer, no doubt about that
I appreciate you getting to the end! Lol
@@drivebar2252 your content is quality, very well put, even when I find somethings you said PC
ONLY FIA CAN STOP REDBULL HIGH TECHNOLOGY CAR.
he might be the most successful but the greatest car of F1 was designed by james allison W11 i doubt anyone can bypass the technological marvel soon
Thats mainly due to the power train, not the aerodynamics.
Newey already did with the RB18.
@@OnionChoppingNinja Maybe he might achieve this coming season.
F1's most successful engineer? Sorry to say that but unfortunately that's not true, no matter how you look at it. On the pure number of titles as chief engineer etc.(Chief Designer, Technical Director, Chief Technical Officer, Team Principal) - yes. But if you look at the success rate, i.e. the number of titles per year as chief engineer, he is only No. 3, because he "only" achieves 1.53 titles per season, while Rory Byrne achieves 1.72 and Ross Brawn even more than 1.80. In terms of pure titles, he is also not No. 1 - Aldo Costa has collected more with over 30 titles. So Newey is not the most successful engineer in F1 in either "discipline". There is one engineer who is better in pure titles, and two who are far better in success rate titles per year. Newey would only just be F1's most successful engineer in the discipline of most number of titles in a senior position, the Costa earned 9 of his titles as head of the design office, not as chief designer or higher.
That Renault engine was such a piece of junk
This video is unwatchable.
