I don’t think so. Think most F1 have seven speed boxes, but don’t have a torque converter....? As Viva says, likely more to do with getting lowest emissions figures- that’s what it’s all been about in the last few years, often at the expense of economy. 9 speed torque converter autos commonplace now, but dual clutch boxes don’t utilise so many ratios. Probably a packaging issue!
