Re: Randy Pobst.
Dude races cars for a living. He almost certainly knows how to use paddles. I imagine it is intentional to not use them, just letting the gearbox sort itself out. By doing that in every single car he tests he would be able to get a more consistent result than him relying on himself to trigger the shift from one car to the next. With the car doing the timing of the shift it's like-for-like test result without any of his intervention except steering, throttle, and brake input.
I do think it is hilarious that some absolute nobody from down under is legit saying they think a race car driver doesn't get how an automated gearbox works and that he can change the gears himself.
