F1 is just the cars, not the drivers

This is basically a statement I just heard on the radio. A presenter and guest (not sports people) were saying how they didn't really like F1 because it's all about the car and not the driver. This is obviously an over simplification of F1. But it made me wonder, has anyone in the history of F1 ever won a WDC while NOT being in the fastest car on the track? For instance, when Schumacher was winning year after year, was his car the fastest on the track or was he and his team just skillful and strategic enough to win against faster cars?
