How to use ¨every bit as...as...¨
Hi! I've come across this sentence "The guys down below in brightly colored team wear are every bit as responsible for the celebrations."
(Yeah, the article is about Formula One :P)
I think "every bit as..as..." means "equally as...as". But I am not sure.
Could you explain its meaning to me and give me a few examples?
Thank you very much! :D

You are correct—it means "equal to" or "as much as" when comparing two things. Examples:
"He's every bit as disciplined as she is."
"The new president is every bit as corrupt as the last one was."
