Ratings are derived from teammate head-to-head records, chained across the grid and shrunk toward the mean where the sample is small — so a driver in a bad car isn't punished for it. Titles and wins still depend heavily on machinery, which is exactly the argument f1and0 lets you settle: put both in the same car and see what happens.
