There is the "theory" that drivers who have only raced in single seaters, need some time to adapt to endurance racing. The argument is that they lack experience with night time driving, conserving the tyres (double/triple/quadruple stints), saving fuel, sharing the car with other drivers (i.e., working towards a shared setup of the car), overtaking slower cars, etc.
Buemi does have good experience with tyre and fuel management with the recent changes in F1 (refueling ban and Pirelli tyres), but the other aspects are probably new to him.
