So... if we're to choose only between the car and the driver, the ratio should change to 50/50... right?
p.s. am reserving the right to vote at a later date!!
Probably right, looking at the proverbial 'big picture'.
Thanks!! Now I can vote!!
I'd be interested to hear how you rationalize your conclusion to account for Jenson Button in 2009 for example.
OK. I said earlier -
But if you consider only those cars/teams which are capable of winning, then I would say it would mostly be the driver.
In 2009, Button certainly had a car capable of winning but being a new brand, the Brawn caught everyone by surprise including the drivers. Button, having just won the odd race before 2009,
drove his heart out at the start and won several races. So, the driver factor in a winnable car.
Later in the season, the car continued to be very winnable but Button suddenly realised that he was heading for the WDC and began to choke and nearly lost it. Once again, the driver factor in a winnable car, but this time working the other way.
