Most F1 drivers take it easy after qualies or a race, while he competes in more qualies or yet another race, albeit in the virtual world.
Also his versatility is intriguing: in sim racing he prefers racing GT cars, LMP2 cars and F3 cars instead of a Red Bull F1 car. All those different driving styles and techniques and endurance racing may also improve his real world F1 driving skills and prepare him for a future real-world Le Mans career after he retires from F1 after a possible 8th WDC.

Exactly - his talent goes beyond one and transcends motorsport categories. Plus it further shows when the cars are all equal his skill and talent simply stand above the rest.
