Does anyone know what is its use ?
Thanks a lot

That is for the Quick Release hub. You will see a hole on the bottom side.
It replace the black plastic screw?
The plastic screw is ONLY for delivery purposes and can pretty much be put directly back in the package and never be used again as its not any kind of securing screw.
The silver one in your picture is a fixation screw which you CAN use with ClubSport Quick Releases to eliminate any kind of possible flex, but you certainly dont have to (in fact, I NEVER used a fixation screw in 8 years and no wheel got damaged).
ok thanks a lot
Like this, right ?
yep! But as said, its optional and not really needed.. ^^
Unless I missed Fanatec saying otherwise, it is still recommended to use it.
Ehm that part you indeed seem to have missed. AFAIK Fanatec does not give any recommendations to explicitly use this screw. It's still purely optional and even Fanatec employees like Marcel wrote that it's not necessary to use that screw.
AFAIK Fanatec only recommends to use that screw if you have flexing issues to avoid these flex.
