Red Bull Racing [...] Adrien Newey is a genius. If there’s an engineer who’s going to pull of something like this it’s him. He prolly found his own way with how the aero should be with these new cars’ specs.

[...]

Could one of those teams be Williams? I just found out that Jenson Button is a special advisor for the team. Button was Brawn GP’s driver who won the championship. Hmmm...

I'd definitely agree about Adrian Newey, if someone has found a better way to do something, then it's more than likely to be him.

Not sure about Button. I think the reference to Brawn is that we could have a runaway team 'like Brawn were', not someone using the same technical approach as Brawn did, simply some team, any team, being a runaway leader in interpreting the regs. Button may be a link back to Brawn, but I don't think he'd have the same level of expertise and insight as a genuine specialist.

But here’s the thing, Jenson Button has the experience acquired from Brawn GP and from working with the man himself. So he prolly knows a thing or two in what Brawn did differently in that championship winning year. 2009 was it? I mean what else would Williams hire him for iin an advisory role if not for his experience.

And we should also be aware that William’s team is composed of the so called ‘super team’ at WRC who has recently just transitioned to F1. So if there’s a team who’ll most likely think outside the box, it’s them. But yeah, Newey is def guy no. 1.
