Well from first impressions of the 2009 regulations, I'd say the FIA are already tipping the balance back toward the driver. The huge tyres and Standard ECU's promised tells be that Traction control is on the wayout for starters, this IMO is the primary factor in handing back the car to the driver.
However there still is even today a difference between Good and Bad drivers. You only have to look at the laptimes of team-mates in the first half of the season before "Team orders" kick in, that show's that some drivers are just faster than others regardless of Technology.
