Mercedes, Venturi Formula E teams cleared to race in Diriyah

Mercedes and Venturi have been given the green light𓃲 to take part in the second race at the Diriyah E-Prix following an FIA investi▨gation.
The investigation⛄ was launched to determine what caused Edoardo Mortara’s big crash after a practice start at the end of practice on Saturday, which ultimately led to all four Mercedes-powered Formula E cars being🍸 barred from contesting qualifying.
Mortara was taken to hospital by ambul♛ance following his heꦿavy shunt with the TecPro barriers in Saudi Arabia, but has been declared fit to race after undergoing precautionary checks.
Analysis into the accident found that Mortara’s ♎crash had been caused by a rear-braking failsafe system failure after an initial front brake issue on his Venturi car.
All four cars have subsequently been cleared b🌸y the FIA to contest the second race in Saudi Arabia.
“First🦄 and most importantly, we are pleased that Edo is safe and well following his accident in FP3,” a Mercedes team statement read.
ও“Our analysis since then has enabled us to underꦿstand what occurred and put in place suitable counter measures.
“The braking sys꧑tem on Formula E cars is designed so that if the front brakes fail, the rear brake system is activated as a fail-safe.
“In this instance, an incorrect software parameter that meant the rear brake system didn't activate as intended and the fail⭕-safe did not kick in.
𓂃“We have now corrected the software problem and demonstrated to the FIA’s satisfaction that the matter has been resolved.
“As a result, the FIA will permit all Mercedes-p♎owered cars to race this evening.”
The second Diriyah E-Prix night race starts a𒀰t 5pm UK time on Saturday🌠.
