Guys, about the gear shifter, both of you are right. In the first years they used a normal H pattern then, later, switched on a sequential gear with paddles (but mantaining the clutch).
In the video linked by Maxime, Cironi is trying a "later version" with paddles. He says also that he need use the clutch (and it is really really heavy) for change gears at low and medium rpm, but when he pushes high rpm, he doesn't need use it.
Early versions had a normal gear. Start watch from min 10:

About the race, a fun race funny.
I lost the Pole for 0,06 sec. I started well from grid and I did a very funny battle with Tim throughout the race. We have done a lot of overtaking. I think he had a better pace, but I tryed put my wheels in front as soon as I had a chance. In two occasions we even went by with the two cars paired in the corkscrew. During last laps I started to force too much in the braking sections, stressing the tires, which were already a little tired, and I lost ground to Tim. I finished 2nd.
A good race also for my teammate Barone, which is gaining feeling in AC.
Not sure about our setup, car was really good in exit, agile with a nice oversteering, but a bit clumsy in entry with a bit of understeering. Tim's car looked instead very oversteering in entry and less in exit.
