Does the driver form influenciate the qualifying times?

Because everytime I qualify to the next race right after the previous one has ended, I always end up in like below the top 10.
That happened on this one (Valencia) and I even qualified on Extras and low fuel.

Is it my car, doubt it, (because I have several parts on Level 2 already)? Driver, with 86 Overall?

Or is the driver's form is actually a factor?

Wait... driver form/energy doesn't affect qualify, only races.

I am gonna ask here, because i guess it's more a general question:
how can the pole car be 1,1s faster to nr 2 and even 4.xxx sec faster then me (4th for now) in Qualifying.....

and this ain't the first time that this gap has been so big, because with my old Driver (which was appareantly better as the one i have now) it was the same gap (4,xxx sec.)

it can't be the Driver only or Car, or are Driver/Car really that important in Rookie aswell or how can these gaps be explained otherwise?

It could be many things.
More precise setup, tyre choice, fuel load, driver attributes, pushing or not, driver mistake..

The pole sitter in your group has a handling oriented car, whereas yours is power oriented. Oversimplified: the better a car matches the track's Power/Handling/Acceleration character, the faster it'll be.

Adding to that, the pole sitter's driver likely has a lot more motivation than yours, which also benefits Q times.

Not to mention one or two other driver stats are likely vastly superior too.

okay thank you, although the Driver in this case a minor thing plays because it was the same with my old Driver (that i dumped 2 races ago)

but thank you for explaining anyway

What really has a big significance in your qualifying is the driver´s motivation. Form or driver energy do not have any influence with the qualifying.
