Ferrari, Renault, yet to test KERS
« on: November 28, 2008, 09:22:24 PM »
Major teams Ferrari and Renault are yet to track test KERS, ahead of the energy-recovery technology's introduction next year according to one report.

It was believed that 2008 constructors' champions Ferrari had now begun circuit trials of its system, when the F2008K development car featured a conspicuous addition to the top of its right sidepod at last week's Barcelona test.

But the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport claims that the sidepod bump concealed only ballast and a cooling mechanism for a so far absent KERS, despite other indicators that the system was in use in Barcelona.

The magazine suggests that Ferrari will finally get KERS, developed in conjunction with Magneti Marelli, up and running at the forthcoming Jerez test. 
 
Renault is also benefitting from the input of Magneti Marelli, a Fiat subsidiary, and will begin KERS testing in January, with the introduction of the 2009 car.

The French team's engineering boss Pat Symonds said Renault never intended to build an interim car to accommodate KERS.

I still think that if Ferrari can't make it work, it won't happen.
