Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F1 technology thoughts

[Stephen Sherman (sherman]

I heard that (on speed) that the wing could be hydrulic or mechanicly 
controlled, and they (speed ) showed the 'rod' that had to be alined during 
the change.
The 6 second KERS charge was limited to one charge a lap - but they (speed) 
did not discuss William's KERS system that uses a flywheel to sfore the 
energy.
