If red bull has the best car, how come only Vettel has been able to win with it?

Stuff like this is stupid, even if we ignore the fact that you can manipulate statistics to show whatever you want, you can't account for the fact that some drivers have always had better or worse cars and that at various times in Formula 1 the level of competition has been better or worse.

For instance at the moment there are very few drivers who you could genuinely call a waste of space. Your Petrov's, Algesuari's and so on are doing well now and there are only a few guys consistently getting rubbish results and they're more or less all in crap cars.
