Where are the paddles on a Formula1 steering wheel? Case closed!

F1 drivers almost never turn the steering wheel more than a quarter turn nor do they ever take their hands of the wheel (I'm guessing) so paddles fixed to the steering wheel works fine.
But on street-driven cars, as you lift your hands off the steering wheel hand-over-hand to make a turn, you'll be fumbling for the downshift paddle wishing it were fixed to the column.
