The day I am most excited about; has Newey rewritten the rule book again or has the design reach a plateaux of ever decreasing returns? Will Williams start the season as strong as they finished the last? The basic design philosophy last season seems to be the accepted norm now - very high nose, heavily tapered rear, blown diffuser etc - but whist that's an advantage to them their lack of running, ever, with KERS won't help.
Newey's overrated. Great engineer sure but people go on like he's some kind of design god. He's designed as many duds as he has dominant cars.
In any case it is always exciting to see what he comes up with, a winner or a lemon. I hope it is a winner and we have a cracking season.
Agreed. Newey is great at what he does; areo/thinging outside the box, but he, as you say, never builds an average car, it's either Mega or dreadful - usually because he has pushed the envelope too far. But that's great for F1, we need those kind of people.

Yeah he does push the envelope, but his hits are world championship material cars and his duds, can still win the occasional race or challenge for wins. I'd take that any day
