Fernando Alonso, Renault champion, is the most vocal in criticizing the system. ''(KERS) is not too useful. In the case of a record time, it is not profitable. Then, when I use it on the back of Glock (Timo Glock, Toyota Formula 1), which does not have the KERS. Honestly, at that time (KERS) also does not help (passing),''said two-time world champion is.
Stefano Domenicali, Ferrari Formula 1 boss, his side still need to learn more profits and losses of KERS. Weeks ago, his team found that the system makes the back tire ''out'' faster. In the Formula 1 car, acceleration is only driven rear tire. So, when the KERS button is pressed, round the back tire so more extreme.
However, both Alonso and Ferrari Formula 1 said that the system still can be useful in other circuits. Especially circuits which have a long straight track. Including Sepang, where Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix will be held this weekend.
Jenson Button, the Australian Formula 1 GP champion from Brawn-Mercedes Formula 1, even claim to have prepared for extra pressure on Malaysia because of the KERS. In Albert Park, he probably can go relatively relaxed. In Sepang, many opponents who will much faster in the straight track.
Formula 1 fans maniac may already know, Brawn is the only team that will not be using KERS this season. The classic reason: Do not have enough money to develop the system.
So far, Brawn may does not need KERS to win. If other teams able to develop that system and make the car more quickly, the situation can be very different in mid-season or end later. Marks can be seen already in Malaysia this weekend.
”Ferrari will be faster in (Sepang) because of KERS. That system will help them a lot. I do not know whether that system will also help McLaren Formula 1,”said Button.
The UK driver describes it, KERS may be able to give more better time record in several circuits such as Sepang, Bahrain and Shanghai (China). “It says that as many as 0.3 seconds per lap,” he said.
In Australia, Brawn-Mercedes Formula 1 basically faster around 0.3 seconds from the other. If the benefits of KERS in Sepang actually 0.3 seconds, we will see an incredible race this weekend.
