Also after seeing Rick Kelly's piece showing the underside of the car, work could be done on heat insulation to avoid burning feet too.

Did Davison have a cool suit failure, or not get picked up by the new monitoring system?
The catagory mandated a NACA duct in the roof probably 15 or so years ago.

But I agree that more could be done to improve on it.
