Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ka haere tonu te pakanga ā-ture i waenganui i a Sauber rāua ko Giedo van der Garde i te Rāhoroi, 27 haora noa iho i mua i te tīmatanga o te whakangungu tuatahi mō te Whakataetae Nui o Ahitereiria e whakatuwhera ana i te tau. I whakakorea a Van der Garde i tana tūranga hei kaihautū whakamātautau i te mutunga o te tau kua hipa, i te mea i whakamahia e Sauber a Marcus Ericsson raua ko Felipe Nasr, i kawea mai e raua he tautoko nui. Heoi anō, i kī a Van der Garde he taunakitanga kei a ia he tūru whakataetae mō te tau 2015, nā reira i kawea tana take ki tētahi rōpū whakawa i Switzerland, nāna i whakahau i a Sauber 'ki te kore e mahi' e kore ai ia e eke. Ko Giedo van der Garde i whakaahuahia i waho o te Kooti Nui o Wikitoria i Melbourne i te Wenerei. I whai ake i tētahi whakarongo ki te Kooti Nui i Wikitoria, Ahitereiria, i te Mane, me te kī a Mr Justice Croft i te 10am i te wā o te rohe i te Wenerei i whakatau ia i te painga o te 29-tau-tau Dutchman. I karanga tonu a Sauber, a, i te 3.15pm e toru nga kaiwhakawa rereke i roto i nga Kai-whakawa Simon Whelan, David Beach me Anne Ferguson i whakarongo ki te keehi. Heoi, 45 meneti noa iho te roa o taua wā, ā, ka whakawāteatia te karanga mai i te 9.30 i te ata o te Rāhoroi i te wā ā-rohe, ā, ka whai wāhitanga rātou ki te whakatautika i ngā take o te take i te pō. Ko te mea nui, he kirimana a Ericsson rāua ko Nasr ki te kapa mō tēnei tau, ā, e tūmanako ana rātou ki te noho i roto i te kōpeti i te Paraire, me te wā whakangungu tuatahi e tīmata ana i te 12.30pm i te wā o te rohe. Whai muri i te whakataunga tuatahi, i mua i te karanga, i mahue te rangatira o te kapa a Monisha Kaltenborn i te whakatau, engari i oati ki te mahi i te mea tika mo ana kaihauturu e rua o naianei. Ka wehe atu a Van der Garde i te marae i muri i te whakatau a te kaiwhakawa me tuku a Sauber i te kaihauturu ki te whakataetae i Melbourne. Ka mea a Kaltenborn: 'Kei te pouri matou ki tenei whakatau, a inaianei me whai wa ki te mohio ki te tikanga o te tikanga me te paanga ka pa ki te timatanga o to maatau waa. 'Ko te mea kāore e taea e mātou te mahi, ko te whakararuraru i te haumaru o tō mātou kapa, o tētahi atu kaihautū rānei i runga i te ara, mā te whai i tētahi kaihautū kāore i rite i roto i tētahi motokā kua whakaritea inaianei mō te tokorua...
