In the end, its making the machine an extension of your brain. Think Ripley in the power loader ala Alien!
The transmission in an F1 car is not technically an automatic in the road car sense. There is no torque converter. It still has a clutch, but it is some sort of electro-hydraulic unit. Come to think of it, I don't think any racing car has an automatic with a torque converter like the Zs AT.
