Verstappen is probably the best example of this in F1. He is both a world class real world racer and a frequent online player as well. His reason for not joining the new virtual Grand Prix is that he apparently hasn't had a chance to get into the F1 2019 they're using for it.

He thinks the game is shit and he is not wrong. F1 2019 is mostly a single player career mode game with multiplayer bolted on. It's not really a sim, it might even be pushing to call it a simcade.

Max is competing all the time in more serious sims like IRacing, rFactor2 or the like.

Lando is taking it a bit more casually so he is racing in F1 2019 as well, but he participates in iRacing races as well.
