I'm not ruining anything.
I'm just pointing out what bothers me since VdS had made that claim. I doubt it at that time already, but still left a small window open for a possibility he really did design the car by himself. But now - looking at those A5 sketches seeing other people are signed under the ext & int designs - it was natural to me to point that out.
Cocky VdS, or clumsy VdS?
Like I said: never has a single design chief taken a credit for a particular design (designed by a member of his department). They either say who actually design it, or credit the whole department using words "we" or "our".
Imagine how would you feel if you were S. Wada.
Pretty bad. Watching your boss taking credits for your own work. I would be pissed & quit. And I'm sure so would be you.
Black spot for you, Mr. VdS!
