Driver Stats

Braking

"Impacts how late a driver brakes for a corner, and how liable they are to lock up the tyres."

Cornering

"Impacts cornering speeds, and the driver's accuracy of hitting the racing line."

Smoothness

"Impacts tyre wear rates. A smoother driver will keep the tyres in better condition."

Overtaking

"Impacts the amount of overtaking possibilities that a driver can see, and also their skill in being able to make an overtaking move stick."

Consistency

"Impacts the variability of a driver's lap times (eg. a less consistent driver may put in some great laps, but won't necessarily do it consistently)"

Adaptability

"A more adaptable driver will be able to jump into any car and feel at home. This stat influences a driver's confidence with the car when there are various setup and part changes being made."

Also effects driver skill in changeable whether conditions. Especially on intermediate tyres.

Fitness

"Impacts how a driver's performance level drops off during a race. A less fit driver may see their performance drop more during the later stages of a race."

Feedback

"Impacts how useful and accurate a driver's feedback levels are during a race weekend."

This influences the amount and accuracy of a driver's radio messages and also how fast a driver generates points during the Practice.

Focus

"Impacts a driver's mindset, and their chances of making a mistake."

Also relates to car crash.

Morale

"This shows how happy the driver is. Happy drivers are more likely to perform well, whereas unhappy drivers are more likely to want to leave their current team."

Marketability

A high Marketability will attract better Sponsors.

Improvability

This stat is not shown in the drivers overview and it determines how fast the driver improves his/her stats.
