I found this photo on the same site. It was listed as a photo of a "AMG S55 Medical Safety car". No way is that car a S55. That is not a W220. Looks more like a hood from a W140.

C32 AMG
Last time I checked, F1 was using a C32 Estate as the medical car. The door was ripped off after someone (forgot, John knows) avoided the accident and straightlined the chicane.

The second accident happened this season at Interlagos, the Grand Prix of Brazil and involved the current W203 C32 Estate when Nick Heidfeld's Sauber took to the grass between the just parked MC and the guard rail after avoiding Bernoldi's Arrows which had spun in the Senna "S" and bounced of the tire wall back into the middle of the track...he smashed the just opening drivers door on the MC...luckily no one was hurt.

That car is the C43 wagon that crashed in Monaco.
It was me who took those pictures at AMG on the guided tour. Higher res images can be found at http://www.maffs.org under 'media gallery'. This is where those 'stolen' pictures came from.
