I think that, the 'in principle' idea behind KERS is a good one.

However, what the FIA (MAX?) ought to have done was seek advice from the major manufacturers, oil companies, sponsors etc on which way to go is best and indeed most relevant.

We know that something along these lines was proposed a few years back by McLaren, so the idea behind it is hardly new.

However, when Toyota - the biggest pusher of hybrids (and you can assume the most closely aligned team) is luke warm on the idea, you know that the current system has cock all relevance to road cars.

Now, I must point out here that KERS is not mandatory this year, and I don't think there are any penalties for not using it, so if you have your doubts about its benefits, why bother wasting money. I have every faith that Max M will change the regs again soon anyway, such is his bafoonery these days.

As for the traffic lights, making errors by letting the guy go early can happen with (and has happened) with a lollipop, so, if Ferrari think they have now got a fallproof fully automated system that saves valuable nanoseconds, and they need to justify the initial investment in this direction, then good luck to them I say.
