Isn't he always two hands on and concentrated during the parts where he drives closer to the limit and/or is doing some manouvres?
The rest of the time he is probably driving at 5-7/10ths of his capability. Didn't really see any alarming behaviour. For him this is probably a sunday ride, driving miss Daisy, while I would have been completely exhausted trying to keep up to his pace...
BTW, Philip (the taxi driver in the video) is a BMW test driver and have probably lapped several thousand laps on the 'Ring over the last 8-10 years AFAIK. I know that he also drove the Ring taxi at least as far back as in 2007, so he should have a bit of practice
Here he is in the E60 M5, back in 2008:
