Kas, I expect that KERS came about solely with the intent to make F1 appear
politically correct. Since being "GREEN" is in favor around the world in
these times, having some technology aimed in that direction is deemed to be
a good thing in the eyes of the powers that govern F1.
And it is definitely expensive so it flies in the face of the other things
they are trying to accomplish. Sorta makes one say, "HMMMMM"!!!

Very good point Joe, but with the back and forth issue of the FIA on several
other points may mean that they back out of KERS also. It could happen.
Interesting, and to make that point further is the crew must wait until the
electronics experts discharge the car before they can work on it. How about
on a quick repair in the pit lane during the race.................dum dee
dum dum, or even a crash and medical team exposure to the effects.
They have advocated making the minimum weight higher and that would be good
for next year but better in my mind is to stop allowing the moveable boggy
weight to be used. Constant weight and assigned by wheelbase dimension
center point by regulation. Fixed.
The smaller teams will have a hell'va time with the KERS as that will mean
more people to take care of that one item. EXPENSE. Any change always
incurs additional expense. You want to make racing cheaper? EASY, stop
changing the rules.
