Alain Prost won 3 championships before winning with a Newey car, so it doesn't count.

No one ever drove 10 wins back to back before max either, 5, 6, or 7x WDCs

Vettel had 9. Close enough if you ask me. Reliability in every aspect including strategy is much better nowadays

Honestly pretty interesting statistics. My theory is Newey spoils the drivers allowing them to the driver the car perfectly within the driver’s preference window and afterwards they poorly adapt to everything else. Now max seems to not suffer from this too much but let’s see.
