Williams removed KERS for the German GP to find out what effect it would have on tyres and as a result will use it again in Hungary.

Williams tech boss Sam Michael

"We have had doubts over KERS in the past with controlling the brake balance under braking, where you end up with quite a difficult situation.

"We always felt in the past that the few times in races where we have turned it off, it has actually been better on rear tyre degradation. There is no doubt in qualifying that it is better because it gives you three and a half tenths because you can go out and we don't have to charge KERS for qualifying.

"Some guys are obviously more on top of their changing than we are, so the penalty for running it is something that we thought we could try at this track. We were planning to try and do it here."
