Not all, but many teams run KERS but I believe all will be running the adjustable rear wing.

Funny how they made a video of him explaining how everything works when he's mostly against their use.

Negative, HRT and Virgin are not using KERS this season. The other one could be Team Lotus.

So will the 2012 M5. And I suspect all subsequent M models.

BMW also claims a significant 25 per cent improvement in fuel economy over the outgoing V10, thanks to the inclusion of EfficientDynamic features such as brake energy recuperation, a disengaging alternator and stop-start function.

Coming in 2013 with the new engines, cars will now have an environmentally friendly toner cartridge installed near the rear diffuser. When KERS is activated, the toner will release a puff of colored spoke to simulate the effect above. This is anticipated to help viewers see when KERS is being deployed.



It would be cool though to see that effect in real usage.

BMW Assist will call you like a telemarketer and ask if you want to replace toner like your company printer/copier...
