You might also want to share your opinion with Chevy as they just curb-stomped the Ring in their ZL1 with the 10-speed auto, with the driver leaving it in D the entire way and scored a 7:29.60 time.

Not really,a sequential manual gearbox is by definition a "non traditional" type of manual transmission.Fully automatic transmission systems, and gearbox-related wizardry such as launch control, are illegal in F1.
F1 are not auto and there is a clutch but the driver is not required to manually operate it.
