Schumacher definitely did it at Ferrari for those first few seasons, winning races that the Williams car was far more capable of doing so - I know they eventually became almost unbeatable but he still has some amazing drives and results with a couple of really bad cars....
I don't actually think he's the outright best ever, there's too many drivers to consider for that title and we'll never really know as hardly any of them got to compete against eachother - I just don't agree that he's "average" or only 10% of the package that won so many world titles, that is really just an insult to most F1 fans if you ask me - Why bother watching a sport if you honestly believe the driver is only 10% of it?
Why not take them out altogether and have the cars guided by Sat Nav?
I agree only a very good car can win these days, the Red Bull is far superior to the Mclaren at the moment but Lewis is just about hanging on to them through some great driving and generally being consitent - i still think he's got a good chance of winning this championship, and that would be a great achievement with this car but the car certainly isn't as slow as the Renault, Mercedes, Sauber, Torro Rosso, HRT, Virgin etc.... Nobody no matter how good they are would win in any of these on a regular basis (i.e unless there's freak weather, a big crash or something)!

About that, Petrov is said to be all mob money. He may be, but I would guess that mob dude saw his talent, because he's really done a good job this year.
A few other guys that do impress me are the Sauber boys
