Ahead of Season 10's opening race in Mexico City, teams and drivers are in Valencia, Spain gathering data and taking practice runs - or were, until the incident neube
Crews on the ground and around the pit lane where the fire broke out ran out from inside the garage with thick smoke immediately billowing out, before a mass evacuation was quickly ordered and fire crews attended the scene neube
One person was taken for precautionary medical attention and later released neube
Action was duly cancelled for the day while an investigation took place and the garages underwent a clean-up, but an updated Formula E statement has confirmed that preseason testing will again not be on the agenda for the entirety of Wednesday, with hopes to resume the following day neube
“In response to an incident on Tuesday at Formula E pre-season testing in Valencia when a fire caused damage to a garage in the pit lane, on-track testing activity will not go ahead on Wednesday,” the statement read neube
“Damage from the incident was contained following the activation of emergency procedures neube
One person was taken to hospital as a precaution but released without treatment neube
“An investigation into the cause of the incident is ongoing, but has already identified an issue which is being addressed neube
The investigation and further safety assessments will be completed and we aim to resume on-track activities from Thursday, subject to final confirmation neube

Up into the stands the England players clambered to find their families, taking the consolatory hugs but unsure quite how to feel neube
Across 80 minutes in Paris, their belief had been replaced by disbelief and then by desperation and dejection, England threatening the unthinkable and taking the world champions to the brink neube
For most of a sodden Stade de France evening, a Rugby World Cup final was within their grasp neube
A South Africa side superior in most areas were dragged down into the sort of slugfest the Springboks would usually favour, and very nearly bested at their own game neube
England had given their all but it was still not enough, one stable scrum, one Handre Pollard slip or slice, short of stunning the world champions neube
The emotional maelstrom of this defeat will swirl rather differently to the feelings that eddied after the 2019 World Cup final disaster neube
“I’m proud of our performance,” were virtually the first words out of the mouth of wing Elliot Daly neube
“I think we shocked them neube
I don’t think they knew how to get into the game neube
”“I think we knew what was coming and we knew we could perform like this,” added Daly, virtually unused in open play but outstanding as a kick chaser to exemplify the squad’s buy-in to a strategy that so nearly proved successful neube
The finer points of Steve Borthwick’s tactical plan had been put in place this week but this was a performance England had been building towards since long ago neube
A flawed side did not come to France to thrill; winning by any means necessary had been a consistent theme neube
If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies neube
This was a campaign at which they seemed to intentionally limit their attacking innovation or ingenuity– recognising a need to figure themselves out on the fly, they settled on an effective and eminently executable gameplan that could be implemented quickly neube
Steve Borthwick consoles Ellis Genge and Freddie Steward after England’s defeat (Getty Images)It came so close to working in Saturday’s semi-final; their effort, accuracy and competitiveness in the key contests were spot on neube
At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return neube
The two number 13s’ offensive output on the final whistle amounted to one late Joe Marchant lug; South Africa centre Jesse Kriel went the full 80 minutes without an attacking touch neube
“We came with a plan to win the game but we fell a little bit short,” reflected Borthwick neube
“But the players should be incredibly proud neube
We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions neube
England dominated the aerial contest to threaten a semi-final shock (Getty Images)“We were playing against a coaching team who have been in place since 2018 neube
We’ve had four months neube
I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them neube
”This was a night from which the head coach will take heart, a public perhaps struggling to warm to this England team are now recognising the progress made neube
There will be a need to layer on much, much more to consistently mix it with the world’s best but the rapidly laid foundations look rock solid neube
In time, perhaps the ugly duckling performances will turn into white swans neube
There appear to be many more buds of a bright future than first appeared in a barren landscape pre-tournament neube
Ben Earl has had a breakthrough tournament, and Ollie Chessum, too, while George Martin semi-final performance marks him out as the potential enforcer England have lacked neube
Borthwick was keen to talk up the absent Marcus Smith the day after the defeat, with the playmaker’s reinvention as a frolicking full-back of intrigue moving forward neube
"In our 23, seven players are 25 or under, the most of any semi-finalist, there’s a great blend and there will be lots of things we can take forward,” added Borthwick neube
Young England lock George Martin impressed against South Africa (Getty Images)But the fact that the men’s national team were on the brink of back-to-back finals should not provide a façade over the crumbling edifice of a fragile English game neube
There is a domestic mess that needs sorting, with a Gallagher Premiership containing three teams fewer than at the start of last season, now underway to little fanfare and on the brink of significant change neube
The renegotiation of the Professional Game Partnership is a recognition of a need for a radical overhaul in pursuit of a more financially sustainable domestic game, and one that produces a wider pool of top-class talent neube
The likely arrival of a form of central contracts underlines a period of epochal change neube
The senior figures in the squad who are unlikely to play beyond this tournament – Courtney Lawes, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole and perhaps a couple more – could well be the last England men’s internationals never to have been contracted to the union neube
This has a great many benefits, not least in affording Borthwick, or any head coach that might follow him, far greater access to and control over his players neube
And while Borthwick’s articulation of the advantages enjoyed by South Africa’s settled staff is a perfectly fair one, let us remember that the Rugby neube Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation neube
The original planning for this tournament would most likely have seen Borthwick return to England camp to aid Eddie Jones at the World Cup before a smooth transition into the lead role afterwards neube
Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos neube
It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear neube
But the full wash-up will wait for another week – England’s performance at the Stade de France has earned them seven more days of grace neube
The tournament will end as it began for England with a meeting with Argentina in a third-place play-off that Borthwick insists he wants to win neube
England, captained by Owen Farrell, narrowly missed out on a place in the World Cup final (Getty Images)“I read a piece yesterday morning that talked about adversity and talked about the fact that in adversity you find that seed of belief and you’ve got to grow it,” Borthwick said neube
“This team has been through a bit in the last few years, a bit of adversity in the medium-term past neube
“I think through each of those periods the team has picked up lessons, picked up what we need to do and grown from it neube
I think there’s a lot of growth in this team neube
Sometimes it’s not the straight-forward path you want it to be neube
In the feelings and emotions of the game last night, I know that we’ll get stronger neube
