The WR's, TE's, and RB's provide the horsepower, the max potential.  The OL are components like the tires, suspension, and steering rack that allow all that horsepower to be used effectively.  Everything works together in concert.  If you've got top notch handling with low horsepower, you don't have a very competitive package.  If you've high horsepower with poor handling, then your driver needs to work a lot harder to wrestle the potential out of the car and it can get dangerous.

However, as far as the power vs handling debate goes, as Mario Andretti has said, "As a driver, you always want the power."

While he's absolutely not wrong, I wouldn't take anything that car/attention-merchant says to heart.

He is part of a handful of drivers (Jacques Villeneuve, Lewis Hamilton, his son Michael, Jenson Button) who won championships due to having the absolute best car and having all the top mechanics and attention put on him, while the #2 was shoved aside. Ronnie Peterson gets the same car at the same time Mario does and doesn't die at Monza, he wins the championship handily, but Mario was the golden boy and he didn't deserve it in the slightest.

Mario at least paid his dues, but three of the 4 guys I mentioned above did nothing and won with the best car, I hate that shit.
