Does that mean I win a discussion with Ioan??

Just joshing. I know what you were saying but I have to say if that is Red Bulls intention they are forgetting who is in charge of Brawn GP and he didn't come down with the last shower.

IMO Red Bull are a bit panicked because of McLaren. They need to stay ahead of the "silver arrows" if they want to reduce the gap to Jenson quickly.

Why bother. Belgium has a 99% chance of raining.

With no mid season testing strapping a kers device to the car at a race weekend would be like playing russian roulette.

The McLaren KERS was sorted and working well from day 1 - it's the cars aero that has taken 10 races to sort....

if spa is cool or rainy then expect an RBR 1-2...without the need of kers

perhaps this is looking forward to monza. where it would most definitely help

It was just a smoke screen:

"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," said Horner.

IMO Spa is teh track with most potential for KERS users, so if RedBull are not going to use it in Spa they are not going to use it at all. As I said before they never really considered using it.
