Piastri and Ocon pace got nerfed?
New driver ratings, new fun.. Well kinda, quite a few of these make sense for once at least looking at pace Verstappen pace buff obvious, Perez pace nerf too Ferrari closer on pace is good too Mer...

Same here (GP mode only) and I would say, although is nice to have drivers update, they mean very few themselves, they take on meaning in the game only linked to team performance whose update is now starting to miss, especially McLaren needs a big boost.
Among team mates comparison:
- Norris-Piastri IRL is much closer than the current driver ratings
- Hamilton-Russell a couple of points is fine
- Sainz-Leclerc omg, please CM do not count *unpredictable and casual happenings* to calculate the stats, the monegasque simply needs a trip to Lourdes, even if it's true Sainz is not far as the past year tbh
- Bottas-Zhou are currently very close IRL
- Hulkenberg has clearly the upper hand this year IRL, the current difference is too few
Curious to know what Ricciardo's entry score will be 🥳
P.S.: I always struggle to properly read the stats and I'm not sure Qualifying is correctly distinguished from the Race (for example Perez needs it). Besides I think it's time to relate the drivers skill to the track as well (for example Leclerc Baku +++)
@Nuvolarix I think it was said 2022 that a group of "experts" like Crofty etc. make these ratings so Codies dont have a big hand in it if its still the same which is a shame.. Besides that i would generally agree with your ratings but i think Sainz-Leclerc is fine with a 1-2 pace margin..
There is no differentiation between race pace and qualifying pace, its both pace and racecraft is for overtaking but i will test it in the next weeks to be sure again.. Regarding Leclerc and Baku its not thaaat crazy like Sainz would have been ~3 tenths behind Leclerc this year if he had got it right in Q3 and only 20s off in the race is also not that bad but it would definitely be a nice touch to have such specifics, Leclerc-Baku, Norris-Austria, Hamilton-Hungary etc.
