FIA reveals further details on Formula E Valencia battery fire
On Tuesday afternoon, there was an incident in the garage of battery supplier WAE at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Spain. Testing was postponed and a thorough investigation was conducted by the FIA and WAE before testing resumed on Thursday afternoon. The incident occurred when the DS Penske car of Robert Shwartzman stopped on track due to the automatic battery safety system being triggered. An arc flash and sparking caused a localized fire when the battery was being manually inspected. The FIA confirmed that all batteries used by teams had been checked and none showed the same symptoms as the failed unit. Additional safety measures have been implemented, including reducing power output and immediate investigation of any potential issue.
