But it's not compulsory right? I expect at the end of this season Williams and Force India will be asked to rejoin FOTA as long as they stick to the rules.

I can see this KERS ban being scrapped then i mean Williams could sell it to the new teams, or the new teams could deveop there own.

If Williams gets their KERS working, they will use it in 2010 which will open the flood-gates on the FOTA ban on KERS. McLaren, Ferrari, and Williams could recoup some R & D money spent on developing KERS.

Eddie Jordan won't be too pleased to hear this news when his "spies" get back to him.

Can't wait to hear what he's going to say before qualifying... Perhaps the thing i've missed most about F1 in this 4 week break is his random/amusing rants about god knows what!

Williams planning to race KERS in 2010

By Pablo Elizalde Tuesday, September 22nd 2009, 09:57 GMT

The Williams team is planning to use KERS in next year's car, despite the Formula One Teams' Association having agreed to drop the system voluntarily.

FOTA teams announced in June that they would not be using KERS in 2010 as they deemed the technology, used by a minority of squad this year, was too expensive.

The pact, however, could now collapse, with Williams having confirmed it is continuing with the development of its KERS with the intention of using it in next year's car.

"We fully support the use of KERS and always have done," Williams technical director Sam Michael said on Tuesday.

"Given the environmental and sustainability pressures that Formula 1 is going to face in the future, KERS is a positive step for the sport.

"It's in next year's regulations, so we're continuing developing our system with a view to using it on next year's FW32."

Williams, developing a flywheel-based KERS, has not used the system this season.

The Grove team recently rejoined FOTA after it was suspended earlier this year when it broke ranks with the rest of FOTA and entered the 2010 world championship before the FIA's initial deadline.

Only McLaren and Ferrari have been using KERS regularly this year.

Sweet. I look forward to seeing Williams' KERS solution in use.

KERS is back in..

If williams get it right they'll just be driving around all the non kers cars as if there mobile chicanes

[zweiblumen]

So 2010 could be Williams' year ... providing they get a decent engine supplier.

And provided they get themselves an engine sorted out quickly enough too, Patrick Head is itching for an engine to be sorted out urgently so the design of the FW32 doesn't suffer from all the waiting.

Man, Williams in the last 4 months or so are being really annoying.
