F1 is vastly different than Shiftronic (Sportronic, Tiptronic) though. Those have like a 3 second lag behind it and is mostly a novelty thing (located on the gearbox oppose to the paddles on the steering wheel) to have for cars. F1 paddle-shifting is the fastest way to shift gears in a car (manual, auto, shiftronic) and shifts in like milliseconds.

The Tiptronic is still an automatic at heart, complete with a torque convertor and all; while the sequential gearbox is NOT an automatic in any form.
