| Force India to join the KERS ranks | 
Fisichella, Force India
Force India will begin using a Kinetic Energy Recovery System as of mid-July, team owner and boss Vijay Mallya has announced.
The Indian Team Principal told the online magazine GPWeek that the Mercedes-Benz system currently used by McLaren will be fitted to the VJM002 for the ninth round of the 2009 championship at the Nurburgring.
"In Germany we will introduce KERS, because the car is KERS enabled and we have a contract with Mercedes for the KERS," Mallya said.
In Bahrain nearly two weeks ago, eight drivers - for the McLaren, Ferrari, Renault and BMW Sauber teams - were equipped with KERS.
But Mallya thinks post mid-season is the best time for Force India to begin using the technology.
"By that time the KERS will have been sorted out, McLaren will use their experience and KERS will have been debugged - if there were any bugs," he explained. | | Placed by Joukje Straatsma on Monday, 4 May, 01:10 PM |
