No, it's not. The first element is a data.frame, whose 4th column is the 
column you want. Using the first example in ?aov,

sm <- summary(aov(yield ~ block + N*P*K, npk))
sm[[1]]$`F value`  # note the backticks

# equivalent
sm[[1]][[4]]



Hope this helps,

  But when I ask for the structure of model2, the first element is
