F1 » Not all F1 teams may introduce KERS in 2009

heres a question. when bmw shocked their pit man, the car was earthed in the pits. now, in event of an accident, and the car is not earthed, will this make the car more dangerous, and cause marshals not to remove an injued driver? if this is the case and marshals are to be put in danger, then the KERS should be stopped immediately.

good point well spotted rich ard

The mechanic suffered an electric shock after touching the sidepod and steering wheel of the car. There was a high frequency AC voltage between these contact points, the cause of which has been traced back to the KERS control unit and a sporadic capacitive coupling* from the high-voltage network to the 12-volt network. The voltage ran through the wiring of the 12-volt network to the steering wheel and through the carbon chassis back to the control unit.”

lee, so a marshal leaning on the sidepod and trying to remove the steering wheel is very much at risk.

did'nt i hear kubica say he would'nt get in the bmw if it had kers,i'm sure it was said a few gp's ago.....

Wow makes you sound clever lee only sound though eh!!!

yeah ok idiot, i copied and pasted it so people could read it if they didnt already know about it.
Fool!!

richard fantastic comment no one should be at risk just to get f1 cars on track and thanks for the information lee did not read that b4 cheers

as my dad works on race team for RBR i am slightly concerned about KERS

what a load of old rubbish there was a short between the steering wheel and the side pods that earthed the mechanic its nothing but a wiring glitch and he could have only got a small jolt up the arm.

Its always the same on here the idiot making a comment and everyone agreeing with him
