No driver progression in myTeam
My team has Tim Tramnitz and Callie Mayer as Drivers. And while Tim slowly crawlöed from a 62 to 68 in 1,5 years (collecting places 19-22 since the beginning) my selected driver Callie Mayer doesn't ...

No, if the driver growth system follows exactly what it used to be, then each driver already had a fixed growth/decline curve that progress through the 10 seasons of career, and no outside factor would change any of that.
If this assumption is correct as it follows what CM had done in the past, then what happened with Icon Drivers is that - all of the legendary Icons + APX GP Icons simply have fixed stats across the 10 seasons, which means they will not have any growth or decline.
Just think of this as the dev wants to always present these legends in their peak form, as they don't follow proper timeline anyways.
Meanwhile, the F3 Icons & Esport Icons have very low default stats, so I believe because of gameplay and balancing needs, they gave these specific Icons the same type of natural growth/decline as all other real life drivers, so they won't remained the worst option all the time and gave them actual purposes to be used in careers.
Well, your assumpotion is partly wrong. As stated in my second comment, Callie Mayer has no fixed stats when not driving as her. Meanwhile, Tim Tramnitz has fixed stats when driving as him. So the problem is not that the icons have fixed stats but that the driver the player uses in myTeam has fixed stats. And that is absolutely stupid. First you can't drive as your own created driver and then your driver doesn't evolve? Who ever thought this was a great idea?
No, in MyTeam mode, the game does not notify you of the driver's stat growth, you had to check and record the stats yourself, and the growth is quite slow and unnoticeable unless you constantly keep check of it.
Tim definitely had growth, but I'm not entirely sure of Mayer (haven't tried activate her in MyTeam yet), and it's the same for Esport Icons but not the Legendary Icons (their stats should be permanently fixed in MyTeam).
I've had Opmeer in MyTeam and ran as him almost every race (Button as teammate), the result is Opmeer had increased a few points so far in the 1st season, whilst Button remained the same.
