Surely Michael Schumacher uses sequential...for Ferrari does not make a torque converter style auto.

But from what I understand, the Tiptronic starts out in 2nd gear unless you use it in "manual" mode. So for the fastest standing start acceleration, I'd put it in manual mode, do a brake stand (step on the brake) and gas it until 3K or so. Then let go of the brake and you should be rocketing out of the gate.
