MT will not let you LFB for the turns, and you will lose time moving feet. I know, we are talking tenths of seconds, but this is one of the reasons the F1 drivers who RFB have been slower (read: Rubens).

Shifting is a tertiary act to driving. Taking out shifting, I can move more focus and concentration to identifying the line, measuring the grip, feeling the slip, threshold braking, etc.

I love manual, but I love going fast too, and AT, at least this particular one, makes this possible.

In manuals we have heel-toe shifting. Same concept, more pedals
