The thing with KERS is if everyone has it then we're back to square one, having spent $m's. It's not as if teams can develop the technology so that their version gives their car more power for longer than anyone else.

It's only making a difference now because some have it and some don't.

The thing is, that not everyone will run it.

KERS is like any other engineering solution: a compromise. Some teams, such as Force India which bought the Mercedes engine and gearbox and KERS, can run KERS if they want to but have chosen not to, because it negatively affects their car.

It's good to have a mix of teams running with and without it. It shows that designers differ on how to get the maximum performance from a car. And some designs work better on some tracks, while others work better in others. This is exactly why this year's F1 is interesting and we can see different teams at the top in on different weeks. This is fantastic. And KERS is one of the reasons why this year is turning out to be so awesome.
