Also. Boost Button!!! F2 are actually using a system called overboost. So clearly the FIA have endorsed boosting in a way. So now, it needs to be looked at in F1. KERS was suppose to be a push to pass system, but it fails miserably. Overboost is the best way to increase overtaking, without reducing technical prowess of F1.

And the man who introduced the Overboost system? None other than Patrick Head.

EJ probably hates that too. God I need to stop.

I now think KERS needs to go due to costs and I'm not sure if does anything for overtaking. From what I gather and I may be wrong but isn't braking distance have a lot to do with overtaking when there is a longer breaking distance there is greater margin for out breaking. The breaking distance decreases with more mechanical grip right? which slicks gave so would it of been better for overtaking to stay with grooved tyres or made the slicks narrower to keep the mechanical grip lower?

I sorta agree with you... mega-powerful brakes are a large part of the problem, but no way should grooved tyres have stayed!

I do prefer Slick tyres I always hated grooved ones.
