The battery fire at Formula E’s pre-season testing in Valencia this week has wreaked havoc on proceedings, with a day-and-a-half of running lost from the original schedule.
Nobody was seriously injured in the incident on Tuesday afternoon, with only one person taken to hospital as a precaution, but the infrastructure damage has been high, notably in the garage of WAE where the incident occurred. But while the flames were confined to the WAE garage following the battery explosion, collateral damage had been caused in the adjacent Mahindra garage as emergency crews tackled the blaze.
” During that intervening time, Mahindra was required to relocate to another garage while also make the best of a bad situation, which included buying new laptops and monitors while the rest of the Formula E paddock offered what support it could in terms of resources and manpower. “I think we had support from all the other teams, that was really impressive to see the wish of helping us,” says Bertrand.
