Even though he was subsequently in the hunt for a decent result before a mistake dropped him down the order in Melbourne, Raikkonen insisted that he had not gained that much from running KERS, which is supposed to provide a temporary power boost from energy scavenged under braking.

The stored kinetic power is released using a "boost" button that delivers a burst of extra power to the car for a short for example, while overtaking a competitor or defending a position. -period Performance-enhancing technologies such as KERS will almost certainly enhance the competitiveness and excitement of Formula 1 racing events.
