FOTA wants to ban KERS from 2010 - Briatore
According to Renault boss Flavio Briatore, the Formula One Team's Association is looking to ban the Kinetic Energy Recovery System from the 2010 season. Talking to the Italian newspaper 'Gazzetta dello Sport', Briatore said that the teams are looking to get rid of the technology despite the FIA's insistence that it is important for the sport's green credentials.
Briatore said: "Yes, FOTA wants to ban KERS from 2010. We understood immediately that it was a money-sucking genius, and the FIA should have taken note of that. It should have been discussed before the start of the season, and the same goes for the diffusers. Having failed to do that has forced on us expenses that are crazy as much as useless."
