BMW Mechanic in KERS Shocker

Recommended Posts

wasn't this a previous issue a few months ago in testing? Or is this a recent KERS failure?

 

I just wouldn't want to see KERS one day discharging on a mechanic and sparking a fuel hose fire. KERS isn't new technology. Yes F1 will evolve it due to the competitiional nature, but it's still old stuff.

Yes it was late last year. When KERS was being tested on a mule car (hybrid LOL F1.08).

 

Because of that all marshal's at the GP's are being issued with rubber gloves (not marigolds!) to reduce the perceived risks.
