are you not aware what it takes to GET TO FORUMLA 1 in the first place, alot of racing in evreything!!!
go carts forumla 3, touring cars evreything!!!
and ALOT of gear changing, so say auto is for beginers is stupid statment to make seeing as these guys are the best in the world.

if manual was the fastest the cars would use manual boxes..
and all it woul take is possibley 1 mis-shift to ruin a race/engine

the TC lets the car to drift for as it takes so that the F1 car can corner in a perfectly manner...
in fact the car is drifting a little bit but we cannot see it...

so it has nothing to do with the amazing downforce and untra light cars, and the traction from the tyers.

soory but ihave not understand your question...
