Does age impact a driver's per

My two drivers are Adam Nowak and Kevin Cox, with the latter being faster if not as fast as the former.  Adam has a talent attribute of 18, 3 higher than Kevin's, and maxed out experience stat while Kevin's is an 8.  They are both tied on fast corners, stamina, and weight, all of which are at the optimum level.  Everywhere else, Kevin is better.  His remaining 3 driving ability attributes are maxed out while Adam's are all one off.  Kevin's non experience mental attributes are all at 16, while Adam's are still at 14.  Are Kevin's advantages enough for him to out pace Adam, or is it that Adam's age of 29 is somewhat limiting his performance, as opposed to Kevin's age of 21?

Age is not a factor here.
Adam's talent being higher should mean hes faster if all other stats are equal.
