F1 WDC: The car, the driver, or both?

Can the best engineered car driven by a decent driver alone, or the best driver in a decent car able to singly wrestle the drivers' championship?

Or both, the combination of the fastest driver in the fastest car can only win?

    A friend of mine is a professional photographer. He was showing some of his pictures at a party to a casual acquaintance who was the professional chef cooking at the party. The chef admired the photos but then added, 'You must have a very good camera?' To which my friend replied 'And you must have some very good pots and pans.'

    You see?

    I think 70% of it is the car, leaving the other 30% down to the driver.

    If every driver drove the same cars (expect for the colours and sponsorship logos ect) I wonder who would win the drivers championship then? That would be the real test to find the best driver....

    It can be any of those.

    3 examples.

    Hamilton: The driver.

    Vettel: The car

    Button: Both.

    It does need a good mix of both. Hamilton wouldn't have won his championship if he was in a Toyota or a Super Aguri. But equally, if Vettel wasn't fast enough to get pole positions, he wouldn't win races or championships. But to be fast needs the car.
