Mosley wants to cut costs by focusing on KERS system

LONDON: Formula One teams will in future gain their competitive edge from new technology rather than expensive engines, FIA president Max Mosley said on Monday.

The International Automobile Federation head, who will meet the Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) in Geneva on Tuesday to discuss urgent cost-cutting measures, highlighted the importance of the kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) as one such example.

"KERS will be essential on all road-going vehicles in the future, irrespective of their means of primary propulsion," said Mosley.
