How's that? In this case you must change it in-game and if it doesn't work delete the F1gstate.sav and try again. If this doesn't work you will have to manually change all performance files by replacing the driver with your name.
Also, AFAIK, driving with your name has nothing to do with Hot Lap, you save these after a serie of laps.
Good luck,
