Barichello
Is it true Rubens Barichello is the only F1 driver who doesn't left foot brake?

What do you do with your left foot then? Does it just sit there like driving an automatic? Actually, it might help a driver stableise himself inside the car. Something to lean on under those G-forces. Is this right?

Yes the left foot has a "dead pedal" to rest against. I dont know why they wouldnt take the time to learn to left-foot brake though. The advantages outway the disadvantages. Also since these guys grew up karting using their left foot to brake, I dont see why it wouldnt be natural to them.
