It wasn't reliable so they weren't confident of getting anything out of using it.

That said, KERS requires considerable cooling so the cars would have been more aerodynamic without the radiation devices needed. Also they'd have lost the disturbance to the braking balance the regenerative braking systems would have caused improving driveability.

Fair enough , Dylan , but would you not agree that there would be some gain in lowering of the CoG in the process ?
Those radiation devices would also need replacement with the appropriate equal weight , in the same area , to comply with the proportional front to back weighting of the car , and undoubtedly , would also be placed as low as possible , likely lower than the original parts involved .
Again , a lowering of the CoG , no ?
