- BUDAPEST (BNO NEWS) — Fernando Alonso’s Renault Formula One team has been suspended from the next Grand Prix in Valencia, officials told BNO News on Sunday.
The decision came after a wheel came off Alonso’s car during the Hungarian Grand Prix which was won by Lewis Hamilton on Sunday. A spokeswoman for the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) said that Renault had released Alonso from a pit stop knowing that the wheel was not properly secured and then failing to tell the driver.
The European Grand Prix will be held on August 23 in Valencia.
