KERS boosted cars finally come to the party

A quick look at the result sheets from Hugarian GP with Hamilton winning the race and Kimi finishing second. Finally we see cars with KERS win the race and dominate the race. Tha aussie Mark Webber finished third(without KERS). One can never rule out the big guns like Ferrari and Maclaren who have struggled the entire season to match the pace of Brawns and Red Bulls but they finally came to the party with Maclaren's Lewis Hamilton winning the race.

Sadly the spectre of the bad old days were revived by the freak accident to Felipa Masa in qualifying when a spring which had fallen from the back of Rubens Barrichello's car struck him on the helmet at 162 mph, dazing him and causing him to lose control of his car and crash into the tyre barriers at high speed. The accident has raised questions over his future in F1. Massa's head injuries though grave, could have been so much worse. It is thanks to current Formula One safety technology, including the modern carbon-fibre helmet construction.

The question is in absence of Masa who will be the team's number 2 driver. Some say Schumacher may fill up the seat. Of course we all would love to see Shcumi back in action but whether he will race againor not is a million dollar question.
Having said that I am sure we all would like to see Masa back in action and wish him a speedy recovery
