What makes some drivers better than others is the ability to cope with new regs, adjust your driving style to suit the car you're driving, and help develop and set up the car.
Also, I always thought the best way to judge these guys was how they drive in the rain.

Very true, not to get off topic
here but look at Valentino Rossi in MotoGP. 20 years racing and is right in the front fighting it out with world champions young enough to be his kids. He's been adjusting constantly through the MotoGP eras.
