Think they're working on some sort of indicator for TV coverage to show when KERS is in effect.
Be interesting to know how long it takes to "recover" energy needed for that 6 seconds of boost. And how that 'boost' works for setting up passes and passing ease.
Fly Virgin F1.
Gets you there ahead of the competition.

Cool. Hope I can follow the 'boost' graphic and see if it does anything or just put ballast on the wrong part of the car.
Heard that the designers like to put more ballast up front but KERS is a more rear-biased weight.
Fast charge/discharge cycles put lots of heat into the battery cells.
Will be interesting to see if the battery packs can stay cool when the races get warmer.
That or there's going to be quite a few hot seats in F1.

BTW, some of the cars now have vents under the nose to keep the butts of the drivers cool
