Newey is one of those design genuises but then so clearly was Byrne, I would also plump for the latter as his cars were consistent whereas Newey's early creations were a bugger to set up on anything other than quick tracks with quick bends!!
The Leyton House went like a bat out of hell on super fasS cicruits but was miles off the pace on twisty ones, the chassis were always crazily stiff IIRC?
James Key and whoever is helping him design the current Sauber could be the next big thing - he was after all involved in the 2009 Force India which was starting to look like a very decent chassis come the end of the season.
Could be a co-incidence but since he was shoved onto gardening leave for nearly a year, that team has gone backwards and Sauber relatively speaking with him at the helm, forwards.
