Hopefully I summarize it correctly...
Paddles on the wheel suck on anything except open wheelers. The reason is open wheelers lock to lock you can keep your hands in the same place.

Road car like this need the paddles on the column, as your going well past 180 degrees. At times you don't know where the f8 the upshift and downshift have gone as your hands are not on the same place on the wheel when going full lock......

Should be on the column...
