I think that sums it up very nicely.

It seems that its all down to the FIA to make the 2010 regulations in such a way that the teams want to run KERS.

You can understand they were in an awquard postion with its implimentation this year, had they made the rules too biased towards KERS thi year it would have ruled the non KERS cars out of the champoinship. It seems that they have gone slightly too far and made it less competitive this year (for the moment anyway)

Personally I like the idea of KERS and would like to see the technology pushed further.

KERS - who wants it now?

Anybody who opts for a capped budget and already has a reliable KERS system

Thats a good point.

I wonder how many teams will race KERS equipped cars in the last race of this season?
That way they can spend the money this year and not have to put the development cost into next years budget.

The current (FOTA) teams seem to just be bickering instead so they're offering it less restricted to the budget teams instead, who aren't complaining (because there aren't any yet).
