I'll think of a good title later

Formula 1

Today I sat through & shockingly really enjoyed a Formula 1 Grand Prix for the first time since Nigel Mansell & Ayrton Senna's heyday. Formula 1 really does belong on the BBC.

It was a very exciting race, I really got caught up in the strategy of it all & being a Brit it is very satisfying to see the underdog team win.

I was also pleasantly surprised to see that many of the competitors are driving hybrids thanks to the Kers system. This should hopefully drive the technology forward.

well, the only team actually using KERS is Ferrari

Mclaren are still running the system & at the time of this post so were BMW & Williams. However, it doesn't seem that the system was a success, maybe hybrid technology isn't as efficient as was first hoped.

yes, you're right. my fault, didn't read the date of the original post. the last race mclaren didn't used the KERS-system.
in my opinion it's the weight of the system. it seems that the teams have more advantages to get the cars in balance without the KERS-system.
