No more Kers, BMW??

BMW Sauber have said they are to ditch their Kinetic Energy Recovery System.

The Swiss German team have hitherto been one of the main advocates of the KERS system and, alongside Ferrari, McLaren and Renault, were one of the teams to have run it this season.

However, like their rivals, they have encountered numerous problems and believe the added weight of the unit is a reason why they have struggled for aerodynamic balance.

Now deciding that they can deliver more performance by improving the aerodynamics of their F1.09 car, BMW Sauber have therefore decided to scrap the device.

Their decision leaves Ferrari and McLaren as the only two teams to run the device.
