Re: Alonso will not race in Australlia

Seems odd. Perez got knocked out at Monaco, missed Canada and was back after that. So Perez had 4 weeks between races - which is more than Alonso would have had if he'd raced at Australia.

I'd read somewhere that buses with similar technology were being introduced somewhere in the UK.

There are set points where the charging plates are set in the road, the bus is charged when it is above then.

The technology exists, but it'll need improving for racing.
