You are correct -- the slow-motion demise of the yellow F355 
clearly shows the *one-piece* fiberglass side panel of the car 
popping loose during the impact.  Last time I checked, the 
door panels on a Ferrari were separate from the front fender 
and the rear quarter panel, not part of a single seamless 
piece running the length of the car's side!
