In the magazine: Why KERS is Red Bull's top priority

This week's AUTOSPORT magazine looks at Red Bull's problems with KERS in detail and reveals how the technology has become the world champion team's top priority

Sorting out the problems with its KERS has become top priority in Red Bull's development plans after it encountered further issues with the system in China and allowed McLaren right into the hunt.

The team only introduced KERS for the first time at the final Barcelona test and has been battling to get it working properly ever since, partly because of designer Adrian Newey's desire not to compromise his aerodynamic packaging.

With Sebastian Vettel's inability to resist Lewis Hamilton in the closing stages of China the latest in a growing list of KERS-related problems at Red Bull, Formula 1 editor Edd Straw reveals why the situation is a bigger concern at Milton Keynes than the team is letting on.

Kimi not tempted by the money - Despite a multi-million dollar offer to move into NASCAR Sprint Cup full-time, AUTOSPORT reveals that the former world champion has no plans to make his stock car move permanent.
