Red Bull closer to working out KERS technical glitches

RED BULL Racing team principal Christian Horner is confident his title-leading outfit will be able to conquer the glitches in their KERS power-boost system that have dogged them at the opening two grands prix of the season.

Reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel has won both races so far this season, in Australia and last weekend in Malaysia, despite the team’s difficulties with KERS.

Both the German and his team-mate Mark Webber were unable to run the system in Australia due to problems with what Horner claims is an “immature” design, while intermittent issues hit both drivers last time out in Sepang.
