I tried to link it to the direct section -- but somehow the url was auto edited by HN to drop the text highlight or I didn't paste the right link...
And I wasn't able to edit the URL (nor delete my post nor add as description), so I posted the highlighted url as the first comment.

I'm not defending my post, you make fair points. I kinda expected pushback from HN.
I should have found a tweet or smaller article that was just about the section where Newey talks about the auto industry. Or others articles that explore this angle.
Anyway there has to be an element of truth in the legendary engineer's comments -- or at least it is a different viewpoint to the popular narrative these days about EV and auto-industry. So I immediately thought the HN community might be interested in exploring this angle -- which other commenters did explore.
I will definitely be more careful when posting next time.
PS: I would think there are engineer fans of the sport that admire Newey as Elon is admired, sorta celeb engineer.
