I hope these numbers are just the drivers starting values, and from what Codemasters have told us these will change. I just hope you can't actually see the values... But I suspect they are looking at FIFA and going to copy them in having very obvious stats available when selecting a driver.
Obviously some of the revealed stats are laughable. Stroll having as high a score as Albon is up there, but seeing Ricciardo and Ocon having the same race craft... That is Daniel Ricciardo, who always seems able to send a pass where others can't, and Esteban Ocon who alongside Perez had to have the Force India / Racing Point management step in and stop them from racing after a number of crashes... Hmmm.

I find the notion that Ricciardo, the man who literally reversed into Kvyat because he didn't look in his mirror has better "awareness" than Perez pretty silly.
I say this as a fan of both drivers. I love Ricciardo but awareness? Was he aware that going on the grass literally five seconds into the racing season might cause some damage?

Pay to win in a F1 game?
Pass.
Pass.

Lol. I feel like one could make a pretty strong argument that real life F1 is very, very, very pay to win. Incorporating that as a gameplay element to the team management portion of the game seems necessary in order for it to be anything like real life.

I think it is the experience stat skewing most of the overall scores. It is basically bonus points for being old. It is true that drivers who have served a long career in F1 have been very successful in order to justify such a long career, but it is well known that drivers peak fairly early within their career... Young Raikkonen vs Current Leclerc would be one heck of a contest, but current Raikkonen doesn't seem to have the same pace (maybe because it is just a hobby now?), just as one example.

I mean, these are all based on real world data, people also forget that drivers careers are long than their previous season. Is its pretty hard to argue against really.
