Lucas di Grassi, Virgin, Monza, 2010
Virgin and HRT will not use Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems in 2011, according to engine supplier Cosworth.
Their general manager of F1 operations Mark Gallagher told F1 Fanatic:
At the moment Williams are the only one of our customers who are going to be using KERS in 2011. Virgin and HRT are not.
Both those teams have expressed an interest in KERS for 2012.

A Virgin spokesperson said the final decision on whether to use KERS next year had not been taken yet:
?We are awaiting the outcome of the treatment of KERS in the resource restriction agreement discussions before we make a final decision on running with it or not.?
HRT declined to comment. Former Cosworth users Lotus have already said they will not have KERS on their cars at the start of the season.
F1 Fanatic?s complete interview with Mark Gallagher will be on the site later this week.
