let's also look at Lando and Oscar in Monza, they both have the best car (see quali results) and last race neither of them could win. 2 races ago when Lando was P1 Oscar was a lap down or nearly a lap down.
definitely need both

Agreed.
Having the best car doesn't mean having the best results without the skill to do so.
To be fair, having a car that is 30-50 seconds faster makes the driver less relevant (See Max and Sergio Perez last 2 seasons) but if the field is close enough the driver absolutely matters.
Lando is barely a top 10 talent in a car that is 10 seconds faster than field and he can barely win a race.
