1992 Williams FW14 - Nigel Mansell
1993 Williams FW15C - Alan Prost
1996 Williams FW18 - Damon Hill
1997 Williams FW19 - Jacque Villenueve
1998 - 1999 Mclaren MP4/13 - Mika Hakkennen
2010 - 2013 Redbull RB6/7/8/9 - Sebastien Vettel
2021 - 2023 Redbull RB17/18/19 - Max Verstappen
[The 2021 title remains questionable of course]
All of Newey's achievements wane of course comparing to your achievement of spelling 4 out of 7 world champions' names wrong

What is interesting is that with the exception of Prost, all other drivers have achieved their first championship in a Newey-designed car. So he usually went where he saw the biggest unrealized potential, not necessarily where the major drivers were. This could speak against Ferrari.

Also, the list shows that having Newey does not automatically and instantly produce a world championship for a team. He didn't design a champion-winning car in all of the 2000s and then had another dry spell at Red Bull in the second half of the 2010s.
