It's kind of both - the car has to match the driver's driving style. For example, when Hamilton was dominating, they designed the car around him, with the longest wheel base of all the cars. The wheelbase was something like 30cm longer than his competitors (car length was the same, just the wheelbase increased). This was because he had such an aggresive turn in style, which was very fast, but unstable on a shorter wheelbase car.
