But if it's just down to batteries there are better and more interesting places to push the limits of battery technology http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10324258. |
Your proposal would make the KERS contribution a genuine research project and a performance differentiator.
Severely impact on the motor home and estate budgets though and could actually force the teams to spend money on something other than aero -
all good!
