OK, am about two weeks behind on the F1 coverage what with getting the DVDs from the UK (thanks mum & paul - you're a lifeline!) but as have just watched the Chinese Quali's and the race is scheduled for tomorrow, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and put it on record:
"KERS = problem"
Not just the fact that only 3 cars out of 20 were running KERS in qualifying, but there's just something about it that doesn't seem right. Maybe I'm over evaluating it, but has anyone else noticed that the engines seem to over-rev when the cars are NOT executing KERS? Perhaps the FOM graphics are out of sync and the cars are actually using KERS when the graphics say they're not, but looking at Heidfeld's chinese quali lap, he used KERS on the BEGINNING of the back straight (which is pretty much the only place you can use it in China), then as he approached the end, the revs went down from 18 to 17, then back up to 18 as he braked towards turn 1 - and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a downshift.
Just doesn't sound right.
So as you lot are two weeks in front of me when it comes to breaking F1 news you may know more than me already, but am going on record to say that by September 2009, I reckon nobody will be using KERS.
Of course I could be wrong. That's why I aint betting on it :)
