Hamilton: Our KERS is the best

Lewis Hamilton was one of four drivers to pay a visit to Mercedes High Performance Engines in Brixworth for a behind the scenes look at the work that goes into providing the engines for the McLaren F1 team.

Hamilton was joined for the visit by team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, as well as Brawn GP duo Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello.

In this video, Hamilton discusses the Mercedes engine and KERS systems in the back of his McLaren car, with the KERS system being one the Briton refers to as the 'best in Formula 1'

Seriously Johnson, you're like a McLaren terrier with a bone.

It's not much cop if you have the best KERS in a crap car. I think we can all agree that KERS has been an unmitigated failure. Plus there aren't really too much in the way of comparables for comparing the KERS system. I reckon this is just a bit of McLaren PR to try and boost their sponsors confidence in them and perhaps to stop Mercedes from pulling out of their agreement though that could be messy.
