As far as I know, KERS power is available only for 6.6 seconds per lap. If they 'press' the button after start/finish line for 6 seconds, they are left with only 0.6 seconds of KERS available for that particular lap. How can they again use it after Parabolica for full 6 seconds in the very same lap??
If I am wrong, pls correct me somebody.....
The KERS allowance resets at the start/finish line so they can use the allowance at the end of the warm up lap coming out of parabolica and than have a whole 6.6 for the quali lap itself.chasefreak wrote:u r rightraceman wrote:I did not quite get this!siskue2005 wrote:in quly they are going to press it after Parabolica (full 6 sec) and after the start finish again 6 sec....thats a total of 12 sec in one of the longest straights.

No - they can't use it 'again' after parabolica. The original point (I think) was that they use it coming out of parabolica coming into the quali lap so the additional speed gained over the start finish line is carried into the beginning of the lap from the end of the previous lap. There still only 6.6 seconds available during the quali lap itself.raceman wrote:[-Xdb__ wrote:The KERS allowance resets at the start/finish line so they can use the allowance at the end of the warm up lap coming out of parabolica and than have a whole 6.6 for the quali lap itself.
This too, bonkers for me!
Let me explain pls: They use KERS after Parabolica for 6 seconds - ok! KERS resets at start/finish line - ok! As per quotes, they use it again after start/finish line for 6 seconds - ok! Then how on Earth they can again use it after Parabolica (dude, it remains the VERY same lap here)???
I am outta explanations if this still is confusing
