I don't think the driver can take full credit. Just like with F1 when Schumacher was racing with Ferrari, he was a fantastic driver but he didn't single handedly dominate the F1 game. Racing is a team effort, the dynamic of the team (everyone involved, racers, engineers, water bottle hander outers) plays a massive part in their success.

I agree to some extent. There are a few differences though. In the ferrari case the car/team was so far in front of others that Barichello got in that car and looked like a star. Citroen has had a bunch of other 2nd drivers during his reign that never looked like much even though they had the same car/team. Barichello also had team orders in some cases to let Schumi win...Loeb's never needed them. I don't remember the year but Citroen pulled out and he took a previous year's spec car to a championship that says that there might be something a little bit more special about him.
I'm not trying to argue, everyone has their own opinions
