The first day of pre-season testing for Season 10 of Formula E at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia was halted after a battery fire in the garage of battery supplier Williams Advanced Engineering during the lunch break. The fire was caused by the battery of Robert Schwartzman’s DS Penske car, which had been removed after the car stopped on-track in the morning session. The fire was quickly extinguished and one WAE staff member was taken to the hospital for precautionary checks. The rest of the day’s running was cancelled while the investigation and cleanup operations took place. Before the incident, Mitch Evans of Jaguar TCS Racing was the fastest in the morning session.
