The kernel includes all open source drivers and these usually work very well. Proprietary drivers (NVIDIA, AMD, Broadcom...etc) are not included and they need to compile themselves against every kernel you install. This is done via a mechanism called DKMS.

New kernel series usually become available before proprietary drivers support them via DKMS. If you are using proprietary drivers, it is recommended to stick to kernel updates and not to install kernels from series which are newer than the series of the recommended kernels.
