This will be a dispute that will go round for a long time to come but in the end it will come down to the fact of what the FIA will agree on and I guarantee they will keep them. They don't want to have wasted all that money on KERS then to have to mod the cars all over again.

The "push to pass" functionality of KERS looks interesting. As a driver in a faster car can cruise up behind a slower car without using any KERS, Then use the extra power at a crucial opportunity. This can help lessen the problems of faster cars being unable to pass slower cars. The problem at the moment, I believe, is that there's currently an overall disadvantage to KERS in term of lap times, and not all teams have to run it. But in the long run, particularly when all teams need to use it, I think KERS will have more advantages thn disadvantages.

They may also increase the power output for next season.

Yeah, I cant see why this would become a disadvantage? But they are even thinking of putting this system on Road cars to be able to cut the use of petrol etc so imagine on the M1...Ill be doing a Schumi But I don't see how this will slow the cars down? Because on a straight or corner 70H/P is a hell of allot if you think about it?

It slows the cars down as the weight of KERS means they have less flexibility for moving ballast around. This was visible when LH ws following JT. You'd see LH use KERS and catch up to and challenge JT. But then LH would fall away again.

Yeah you’re totally right, I see what you mean. It's like the starving fat kid see the cake then awww it falls away again. It will have bugs for a few races but should be sorted, but it won't be going anywhere anytime soon! So people saying this is a load of If you watched the Evo of F1 DC made it clear this is the evolution of F1 and it’s going to stay.
