KERSLast Week KERS came under question.
It seems either a cheap customer option or standardized system will come into place for 2010.
There was much talk of the exciting new technology ahead of the season and once the rather inconvenient problems with electronic discharge through mechanics and drivers were solved there seemed to be a general confidence that the concept was worth investing in, for the sake of Formula One and the future of cars on the road.
If the standardized KERS solution is voted in, those that have not finalised their designs will need to decide whether the advantage it gives is worth spending all that money to get it on their cars later in the year only for their work to be rendered meaningless and of no advantage by its end.
Hamilton was the lead KERS car on the grid, starting fifth for McLaren, and with the boost button fully depressed when the lights went out, he gained two places to rocket up to third then pressed it again to pass Trulli for second later in the lap, although he was re-passed having run out of the limited amount of boost available.
Raikkonen, too, seemed to be a big winner at the start, moving up three spots by the end of the lap.
