Ferrari will use its KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) for the opening of the 2009 championship in Australia.<\/p>\n
After successfully testing the system during the off-season, Ferrari will therefore adapt its KERS for the race on both of its cars (those of Felipe Massa and Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen).<\/p>\n
The Scuderia is the second team after Renault to confirm the use of the system in Melbourne. The French manufacturer had revealed the information earlier in the week.<\/p>\n
BMW-Sauber also claimed that its KERS was ready for the race, but the team has not yet decided on its use in the Antipodes.<\/p>\n
In the end, Ferrari made significant progress in developing the system as the team had admitted a few weeks ago that they were behind and also facing some issues during testing.<\/p>\n
The technical director, Aldo Costa, stated that the team’s plan had always been to be in Australia with the KERS, even though a contingency plan had been put in place.<\/p>\n
\u00ab The objective is to arrive in Melbourne with a high-performing KERS, but we also have a plan B: It’s not another car, but simply a version without the KERS, \u00bb he had explained in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
