The so called advantages to the environment are non existent as they use this regained energy to emit even more carbon dioxide in the form of more power. it's kinda useless in that regard and also since the technology is so different to what would work in a road car where it really does need to be pushed.

same here.
stupid idea.

That's very annoying...

I wasn't sure about KERS at first but I just find it so cool knowing that some cars have it and some don't, some will get faster starts than others, some will be able to utilise it to overtake etc....

It's added a bit of spice to the races and I've enjoyed it so far...

Typical that the teams want to ban something that brings excitement to the series :(

But it's exciting while there are some teams without it, but when all teams are forced to use it, all the excitement will dissapear. Drivers will use it on certain parts of the track as an offensive and deffensive method, so that won't increase overtakings, unless there is a limit of use during the race, meaning that drivers must think carefully when to use it, like in A1GP, where a driver without any push to pass left, towards the end of the race is vulnerable to get passed for another driver who saved it during the early part of the race.
