The FIA technical regulations of next year have revealed that a more powerful Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) will be permitted for those teams electing to use the FIA's new £40 million cost-capping scheme. Rules for this year state that all units - currently used by Ferrari, McLaren, Renault and BMW - must only be used for 6.6 seconds per lap, yielding a boost of eighty horsepower.

Sir Frank Williams has expressed his views over the FIA's introduction of a £40 million budget cap from 2010 onwards, highlighting his worries over the potential situation of some teams running a varying set of technical rules to others.

The McLaren team has spoken out following Thursday's announcement from the FIA over the 2010 budget cap. The system will give teams the option to either follow current restricted technical regulations with an unlimited budget or take the cap of £40 million whilst enjoying greater technical freedom.
