NH was much heavier than RK gunning for a one-stopper, thus the difference in Q3 - not because of KERS.
Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. 
^^It was Massa.
But yeah, look at the difference between Kubica and Heidfeld. Clearly KERS is doing no good whatsoever. If anything its a dis-advantage right now. As EJ said today, it's a silly device that adds nothing to the races. Drivers just push a button coming out of the corners. In my opinion I don't see the point. F1 should be more about driver talent, not who built the best hippy wagon.
If anything it causes more trouble than it's worth. Some drivers are disadvantaged or are forced to lose weight. It's causing safety issues with people now afraid to touch the cars. It's adding up the costs in sport where we're trying to reduce the cost. What does it give back to the veiwing public. Nothing.
I personally don't see the system lasting that long in F1. EJ was saying that American races apparently used something similar years ago and they dumped it. Hopefully the system soon becomes redundant.
