Once you're a works/factory driver you can't compete in a series against your manufacture brand which severely limits the number of races you can do. It also has a side effect of capping your pay as you can't always dictate your per-race rate when the factory puts you in a car.
He gets to do whatever he wants and everyone knows he's one of the fastest and most well respected drivers in the world.

Plus he once got out of his GTC car in qualifying to pick up a wheel that fell off and drove it back to the pits, then set the top qualy time!
Legend.
