Mahindra Racing have released a statement confirming that they’ve suffered “extensive damage to our trackside operations”, with only one car
The fire that occurred in WAE’s garage, located next to the Banbury-based team, was caused by a battery extracted from a DS Penske car driven by Robert Shwartzman. Testing was cancelled for several days while an investigation took place. It has been confirmed that testing will resume on Thursday afternoon after the investigation. Mahindra Racing has been affected by the fire and had to move their garages due to equipment damage, particularly on Nyck de Vries’ side.

Bertrand also commended his team for getting Edoardo Mortara’s car ready for the resumption of testing.
