> Sadly, I personally can't see how this remains to be the case any longer... RBR with Newey or Dall'Igna with Ducati have been in championship dry-spells for a really long time
Not being able to have the best car was not Newey's fault. When the turbo hybrid era came in, Mercedes absolutely nailed the engine which gave them a massive advantage. Ferrari also had a decent engine some of those years.
Meanwhile Red Bull engine providers Renault and Honda struggled to put up an engine that was on level ground to the Mercedes one. There is only so much a person like Newey can do when other engines are vastly superior.
