That is not what happens Newey.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2024, 20:26Never expected someone with so much success to obsess so much about credit, like it's a highschool beauty pageant. It's only natural and a positive thing to publicly credit and promote people under you to boost their morale, self confidence and enable them to eventualy get along on their own...
People should just imagine what it's like to be lower seniority engineer and contribute with an original idea that ends up being an obvious point of interest of all teams and public, only to have every article attribute this idea to the well established man on top, who had nothing to do with it.
Newey is very hands and and involved.
He is not a skill-less people manager that takes credit like most would do.
That would be similar to Ross Brawn who is not a specialist of any real kind, though technically competent, but he was GIVEN a lot of credit for car designs despite him reminding people he doesn't design the cars.
