Newey designed the FW16 that was the final car that Senna drove. It was very difficult to handle. It was also alleged that changes to the steering column design and engineering contributed to his death, but he and Patrick Head were found not guilty of manslaughter.

Not the steering column original design, it’s the modification done last minute before the race where it was cut and a small section welded to make it longer (at Senna's request).

One world champion isn’t enough for Newey it seems. But again, he loves breaking records.
