I stumbled across this very cool animation while browsing Gizmodo today:

I don't have audio, but I don't think it explained how the adjustable wings work.

It didn't specifically mention how the wing was controlled, but it did say they can adjust the last element of the front wing.

They did talk about the KERS system a little though. It looks like the generator comes off the back of the crankshaft and charges the battery enough for 6.5 seconds of use for each lap.

Looks like the battery is located under the driver's seat.
