P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Formula E Valencia testing delayed further following battery fire

The reason for the extended postponement of Formula E pre-season testing is to allow battery supplier WAE to conduct an investigation into the garage fire that occurred on Tuesday afternoon. A final decision on resuming running will be made on Thursday at 11am CET. The session is scheduled to resume at 2pm CET, pending confirmation, after completion of the investigation. Three days of testing were originally planned at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Spain. On Tuesday morning, a three-hour session took place, led by Jaguar’s Mitch Evans. The session was halted when the DS Penske experienced a technical issue on the track, followed by a battery explosion in the WAE garage later in the day, leading to the cancellation of the afternoon session.
