The latest KERS news, with supermodel Miranda Kerr
KERS is dull, Miranda Kerr is not
Ferrari have yet to test KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) on a real circuit. Everyone thought that the Scuderia had already begun circuit trials of the new energy recovery system at Barcelona last week, when its F2008K development car showed off a new bump on the top of its right sidepod.
But Auto Motor und Sport claims that the sidepod bump contained nothing more than ballast and a cooling mechanism for KERS. The German magazine also predicts that Ferrari will finally test KERS for real at Jerez next month.

KERS is a bullshit! What advantage can KERS give when everybody will be using it? It will be used on the longest straight by each driver so nobody will gain an advantage and will be significantly faster to be able to overtake. This and a new point system is a complete disaster.

Erm… No. I don’t know of anybody who thought that. Every single website I read during the test stated that Ferrari were running ballast to simulate KERS. I don’t know where you got the idea they were running a KERS system, but it wasn’t from any of the big boys.
