Australian Grand Prix 2011, Albert Park Circuit - Race 1/19

Is there a rule that if a team choose's not to use Kers, they have to add ballast which is the same weight as the kers system?

Minimum weight, the weight balance has also been set by fia this year.

Are you saying that the cars with out Kers are lighter? :confused:

No, all cars have to be a minimum weight. This minimum weight was increased by 20kilos this year to help fit kers and bigger drivers in. I also believe the minimum weight front to rear ratio is also to make tames include kers, as there is less scope for balancing.
 
Great drive by vettle and Hamilton, just hope Hamilton passes scrutineering.

What was button doing, just give it back, especially after Alonso pitted first, so he could hand it back without being over taken by Alonso. Idiot.

Petrov - stunning.

Perez - one pitstop :eek: if they can keep the tyres good they must be on for a hole bundle of points this year.

RBR - gone for same as last couple of years, forgo trick parts including kers to have an ultimately balanced and aero superb car. it's simple design but so detailed and perfected.


DRS - what utter pants, yes it's made over taking a bit easier, but omg is it boring. Steam up punch that and kers and then just outbrake. It's not racing. Solve the ***** problem. More BHP, more mechanical grip, far less aero grip.
 
Some of the people who are instantly dismissing DRS are not thinking it through. It was widely accepted that this track is a terrible example, a fast right hander which will produce understeer for the car behind, then a very short straight. No one was expecting it to be any good at this track, lets give it to at least Malaysia before you dismiss opit as useless. I don't know what you were expecting from it, it's not an overtake button, it gives you a little bit more speed, and the straight at Melbourne was far too short to take advantage of that.

Why its a fake bit of rubbish, it isnt racing and has no place in f1
 
There's a massive difference you retard, turbo/kers everyone who an develop it has it and can use it. DRS is intentionally soap opera and only the losers can yes. it is a ridiculous system.
 
AC/DC's Back in Black. :D

Well said by Nikki Lauda

Missed that, what did he say?


Why would you have a mini kers, it makes no sense. you still need a hefty battery, you still need the electric motor, the electronics and everything else. The only thing you wou.d save is the cooling and rear break balance.
