Formula 1 goes hybrid

Formula 1 chief Max Mosely recently announced that all Formula One cars will go hybrid by 2013.

According to Gas 2.0, the hybrid system that will be phased in is known as KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), which doesn’t store as much energy as a traditional hybrid system, but weighs just 55 pounds, has sufficient energy storage capacity, and is twice as efficient as a standard hybrid system.
