Max Verstappen celebrated a double win on Sunday, taking the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix for Red Bull after earlier being on the winning team for a virtual endurance race.
The triple Formula 1 world champion said the time spent gaming in between real-world duties had not affected his performance in Italy.
Verstappen said he had done some evening stints but not night ones, although he did stay up to watch the Oleksandr Usyk-Tyson Fury world heavyweight title fight which was broadcast at around midnight local time.
"He's had a very busy weekend because he's also competed in the 24 hours of Nurburgring in between being in the car," team boss Christian Horner said. "He's won two races today.
"He's basically a racing machine," added Horner when asked if there were concerns about his star driver's activities. "It's not unusual for him to be doing that."
