One Vodafone McLaren Mercedes car part played a vital role in allowing the Formula One team to achieve its first victory of the season, it has been claimed.

According to Zytek Automotive, the Kinetic Energy Recovery (KERS) system that it has developed in partnership with the racing group allowed Lewis Hamilton to make a stunning start to the Hungarian grand prix last month.

The technology works by allowing a car to store energy recovered while breaking and release it when the person behind the wheel pushes a button on the control panel.

Zytek Automotive claimed it is possible for drivers to gain between 0.3 and 0.5 seconds a lap using the device.

It stated the system used by Vodafone McLaren Mercedes is generally considered to be the best form of the technology in Formula One.

Meanwhile, motorists keen to ensure a vehicle performs at its best may find replacing worn parts with good quality car spares can help.
