Sure. Driver data is the drivers braking points, racing lines taken, points of acceleration, how much curb is being used at a particular corner, throttle percentage used at a particular point, etc. etc. Basically the drivers personal driving style.

Car performance data is what suspension settings are used (ride height, camber, toe for example). Also tyre pressures, aero, ballast, etc. etc. Basically the car's set up data.

Car set up info has always been shared between the drivers engineers, and it should be. That's part of helping the team improve. Driver data is a personal record of what each driver is doing, and it should not be shared IMO. Let each drivers skill and ability determine the winner. Not the better drivers info improving the lesser drivers ability.
