Thanks a lot man. I'm still a bit confused how the clutch paddles work, since they're only needed for 1st and from a standstill, right? You mentioned 'for smooth shifts', but all drivers seem to do while underway is just touch the up/down shift paddles. So just like I suspected, the clutch paddles are just like a rheostat, but I don't quite get if each paddle has a different purpose, or they're redundant.
Oh, and have another question: Do F1 cars have a semi-launch control, where the driver can just mash the throttle and the car holds the revs at an adjustable rpm until clutch is released? Hope the answer is no
. Thanks again for your help; at least I learned where the paddles are
. Looking forward to the race tomorrow.
