OK point taken, I'll stick by my 70/30 then.
No way its 50-50.Regarding the earlier questions about Alonso in a HRT. He did very well in a Minardi. Vettel did quite a bit for Toro Rosso. Early on his team mate was at the back-end of the field (and so was Vettel for his first 4 races) but then come Fuji and he could have - should have - finished on the podium. The car does not pick the line when overtaking. The car does not pick the strategy. The car does not make the call when variable conditions arise.
You're talking about specific races. Not "sustainable" performance. If it were anywhere near 50-50, those uber drivers would have gotten the same crappy cars into the good pts on at least 50% of the races.
"The car does not pick the strategy... make the call when variable conditions"
Neither does the driver. There's a ton of guys plus some computers working on that.
Some drivers are faster than others.
Some drivers' mothers are faster than other drivers' mothers.

#5 Vettel!
