It's the winningest designer of F1 cars ever. He has 12 constructors' titles, 13 WDC's, and over 200 F1 wins.

Confidence borne from results isn't obnoxious.
Do you not know what obnoxious means?

I don't need to build a F1 car, but I do need a book on "How to fix a leak - easy".

I really enjoyed the chapter where he talked about how no one is more humble than he is.

It's good, but it's more of like you're sitting down with him and he's telling you stories from F1 and his early life than it is a book about science.
People that don't follow F1 shouldn't get this deal. And people who hate Red Bull should just walk away. Adrian Newey is the Phil Jackson, Coach K, Sir Alex Ferguson of motor racing.

call it obnoxious if you want but this dude probably is the greatest f1 engineer. Red Bull's success was due to him and now that he's gone they are faltering.
