Interesting video, thanks for posting!

I have to say, the new regs are going to be interesting in a few years.  Mario Andretti has said that the best formula is high horsepower and low downforce, just like CART in the 1990's.  Once all the teams catch up and the playing field is more competitive the racing will be alot of fun to watch.

So power boost from KERS is an electric assistance motor attached to the drivetrain?

no worse than the battery catching fire and sending the car up in flames like the fire that happend at red bulls factory last year.
The systems a joke. All the teams except bmw want it delayed, they all know its still to new to be safe. But because they all know it might bring a small advantage they are forced into pressing on.
