Alonso's Renault team suspended for Valencia race
Spaniard Fernando Alonso's Renault Formula One team were suspended from the next race in Valencia today after a wheel came off his car during the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Race stewards ruled 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 incident came a week after 18-year-old Briton Henry Surtees, son of Ferrari's 1964 world champion John, died in a Formula two race at Brands Hatch after being struck by a loose wheel bouncing across the track.
The European Grand Prix in Valencia is on August 23.
