Sure, but Newey an aerodynamicist. People are attributing the team success solely to Newey, however Newey's role is to make the car slick through the air. In that respect, Webber and Vettel have the same input from the man. I'm not saying that technology hasn't played a role, but I'm not sure that it's really Newey who is coming up with said technology.
