KERS was not very useful at Melbourne - Alonso

Renault F1 Team driver Fernando Alonso admitted that he was unimpressed with the performance of the KERS system during the Australian Grand Prix. Alonso said that the system gave him no advantage at all at the Melbourne track, but believes that at Bahrain or Monza the device will be of more use.

Fernando Alonso was unimpressed with the performance of his KERS system in Sunday's Australian Grand Prix.

Alonso said to the Spanish newspaper 'AS': "It (KERS) was not very useful. In terms of lap time we knew it doesn't give us an advantage, but I used it when I was right behind Glock - without a KERS - and the truth is that it was no help at all."

"At this circuit there was no benefit, but let's see what happens at tracks with very long straights, like Bahrain, or Monza."
