Basicly, right behind the steering wheel where the paddles are for the shifts, there is a 2nd set of paddles, 1 on each side, for the clutch. All 4 paddles together make kind of a butterfly shape.

Both clutch paddles work, and the reason there are 2 is because the drivers will press 1 partially the way down and hold it, and then use the other one to fully press down to make the actual change. After the change has been made the fully depressed clutch paddle is released and the partially depressed paddle is slowly released to allow for a consistently smooth shift.

I'll try to find a picture and illustrate it.
