I would say there are four factors controlled by the driver:

- racing line

- braking points

- assists (I don't say they are bad, the question is which setting helps you the most in doing good times)

- consistency (meaning how good performance you can make during a whole not, not only occasionally in specific sectors).

And, of course, there is the level of upgrades which also have an impact on times.

But as you can see, there are much more human factors than vehicle related. :)
