I wondered if this might be connected to the removable tub that they were talking about? I.E. The tub might have been removed to help with getting Heikki out and therefore we could see through the car? Obviously this is speculation but thought there might be something in it.

It will be great to see Heikki's impish grin and always positive take on things back in the pits again soon. PS:  And Sir Jackie......again, job well done.  A tip of the Hans device to all the engineers, regulatory personnel, and anyone else who has contributed to the great advances in driver safety over the last decade.  You should certainly feel good about your efforts again today.

It will be great to see Heikki’s impish grin and always positive take on things back in the pits again soon.
