Mahindra Formula E driver Nyck de Vries will miss this afternoon’s pre-season test session after the team’s trackside infrastructure was damaged by a battery fire in an adjacent garage.
Track action at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Spain has been curtailed since Tuesday afternoon when a battery exploded in the garage of battery supplier WAE . While most of the damage was confined to that pitbox, the neighbouring Mahindra squad were also impacted by the blaze. As well as having to move garages, the team confirmed that damage occurred to its IT infrastructure, engineering stations and to both race cars.
Although we have sustained extensive damage to our trackside operations, without a doubt their quick actions helped to avoid a much larger incident. “I would also like to express my gratitude to the FIA, Formula E and to each and every single one of our competitors. The support for Mahindra Racing at this difficult time has been unanimous and is a clear indication to me that we exist and compete as one family within the paddock. “I am extremely proud of everyone at the Mahindra Racing team.
