F1 technical question

Hey gang, I'm curious how the 'manual' clutch is operated for launches, and where it physically is. I know it's some kind of lever near the steering column, but that's all. Since it's an electrohydraulic clutch, I doubt the lever is directly connected to the clutch, like on our 6MTs. I'm betting the lever is more like a rheostat than a true clutch, but at least it's not fully automated (launch control). Pics would be great . Searched for that but zero bites; only the typical technical specs most of us already know. Thanks gang.
