No KERS for Red Bull

Tuesday, August 25, 2009

Red Bull have ruled out introducing their Kinetic Energy Recovery System during this weekend's Belgian GP.

Red Bull are one of a few teams who have KERS at their disposal but they are yet to actually us it during the course of this year's Championship.

However, with the next race being held at the Spa-Francorchamps, a perfect venue for KERS, there have been some questions about whether the team will finally make use of the device.

Team boss Christian Horner, though, feels its complications could outweigh its benefits and as therefore ruled it out.

"Spa is not so different to Silverstone and we had a strong car there, so to introduce KERS at this stage could only be disruptive," Horner said.

"We will make a decision for Monza after Spa. It would be the Renault/Red Bull KERS one that was developed at the beginning of the season. We will continue to look at it."
