I don’t get the relevance. F1 drivers are not driving for the enjoyment of driving, they are looking for the best way to win a race.
I am not trying to win a race with my corvette, I want to enjoy driving it and I enjoy the control operating the clutch and transmission gives me. An automatic is boring.
An automatic corvette is fine if you are of the gold chain and rolex crowd cruising around trying to get laid and need the prop to pull it off. Not so much if you want to enjoy driving it.
Modern automated manual transmissions, which is what a DCT is, are not the 3-speed Hydramatic slushboxes of your youth. And can typically be paddle-shifted, if manual gear selection is your thing.
If anything, the gold chain and Rolex crowd isn’t really interested in performance and likes the nostalgia of a stick.
Rowing a stick on a modern car is like wanting a rotary dial on your smartphone. Which, as I look, is actually available in the Apple App Store.
