Newey, whose top-flight tenure began with a stint at Lola in 1986, has designed grand prix automobiles which have to date received 14 constructors’ titles and 12 drivers’ crowns for 3 groups.
Notably, Williams scored 10 wins – together with six 1-2s – from 16 GPs in 1992 and 12 victories in 1996.
After shifting to Pink Bull as chief technical officer in 2006, Newey oversaw machines that received 12 races in 2011 and clocked 13 triumphs in 2013 because the calendar grew to 19 rounds.
However talking on F1’s Past The Grid podcast, Newey reckons the consistency achieved by Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez aboard the RB19 this season nonetheless stands proud.
Newey, whose episode was recorded in Singapore when the Pink Bull depend was 14 wins, stated: “This has been our greatest run of success that I’ve definitely ever skilled.
“I’ve been lucky sufficient to have been concerned in automobiles which have been dominant prior to now, however we’ve by no means had this stage of consistency.
“Folks would possibly suppose it now that the whole lot is form of assured and it’ll be easy. The fact is, so many issues can go improper in a race.
“Truly getting two automobiles to the end, ideally each of them close to the entrance week after week, it’s a tough problem due to all the weather that may go improper: reliability, accidents, technique, efficiency clearly.
“So, to realize this, I feel, is an actual tribute to everyone.”

Crucial to the success of the RB19 has been its large working window that permits the automotive to adapt to quite a lot of circuits.
This compares to the delicate Mercedes ‘zeropod’ structure that debuted with the W13 in 2022, a design guided by the height downforce numbers the group may simulate.
Regardless of the closely contrasting idea from a group that had simply received eight constructors’ titles in succession, Newey stated he had a ‘intestine intuition’ to not eat restrictions below the FIA value cap to review the Mercedes answer and examine it to the one devised by Pink Bull.
He stated: “Even with all of the instruments now we have now, there nonetheless needs to be a level of intestine [instinct].
“The fact is, even earlier than the price cap, we had been nonetheless useful resource and other people restricted.
“We have now by no means had the capability to analysis countless completely different paths in nice element.
“When you take a current instance, clearly with final yr’s automotive we took an aerodynamic path with the sidepod and design and the idea of the automotive, which was nearly polar reverse to what Mercedes did.
“Mercedes confirmed flashes of competitiveness final yr. They clearly received in Brazil.
“Then you definitely’re confronted with a alternative of ‘Will we begin to analysis Mercedes in case we’ve missed one thing or will we stick to what we’re going?’ Intestine feeling was stick to what we’re doing.”
