Formula One cannot be technically advanced and relevant to road cars if it doesn't want to spend any money. KERS is about the only exciting technical challenge in the sport at the moment. That reason along warrants it staying. Banning KERS now is pointless anyway, as most of the spade work has already been done. Talk about shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.

I would really like to know what type of "Technical Relevance " you think KERS has on a road car ? This technology already is used in road cars "Prius, Insight,Clarity" to name a few Hybrids it's nothing new and you're buying into Bernie E's BS. What on God's green earth is exciting about a Hybrid F1 car? I actually agree with Flav they need to cut there losses and get rid of it. If they want to look green there are much cheaper ways to go about it ....Start running the cars on an alternative fuel that's not Fossil fuel based, run the transport trucks on Biodeisel, but leave Hybrid technology for tree hugging Prius drivers.

is that actualy KERS on those road cars? isn't that just petrol engine charing battery.

i think BMW MAY have it with there Efficant Dynamics program not sure.

Anyway Williams KERS will be put on Buses.

na road cars like the Prius use Kenetic energy for power also

Looks like FOTA is trying to have KERS banned at the end of the season. I hope it gets pass through. Too problematic & troublesome.

EDIT: I think I am a little too slow. Looks like you guys have already been through this.

Mclaren are having no problems and trouble it can't be banned just because Ferrari can't get it to work and renault are having issues.

Thats what F1 is about you could build a REALLY fast car thats not very relaible - thats f1.

I like KERS and i can understand a Ferrari fan's frustation but its a technical advance that needs to become mandatory but not one KERS for ALL.
