Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te whawhai a te kaihautū Formula Kotahi a Giedo van der Garde mō tētahi tūru whakataetae mō te tau 2015 me whakatata atu ki te mutunga i te Rāapa. Ko Van der Garde, i whakakorehia hei kaihauturu whakamātautau e Sauber i te mutunga o te tau kua hipa, e kii ana i whakaaria mai ki a ia he tuuru whakataetae wa-katoa mo te pakanga e haere ake nei ka tiimata i Ahitereiria i tenei wiki. I te mutunga ka utua e Sauber a Marcus Ericsson o Sweden me Felipe Nasr o Brazil, engari kua kite a Van der Garde i tetahi poari whakawa i Switzerland i whakatau i tana painga, a kei te rapu inaianei kia whakatauhia taua whakatau i mua o te whakatuwheratanga o te waa. Ko Giedo van Der Garde, i whakaahuahia i te whakamatautau i te 2014 ko te taraiwa taapiri mo Sauber i te tau kua hipa. E kī ana te kaihautū o Aotearoa i whakawhiwhia ki a ia he tūru whakataetae mō te pakanga 2015 engari i whakakahoretia e Sauber te kirimana. I kii te Kooti Nui i Wikitoria, Ahitereiria, i te Mane na roto i tana kaute Twitter mana ka whakatauhia te whakawa mo te keehi a Van der Garde tae noa ki te 10am o te Wenerei i te waa o te rohe (11pm i te po o te Wenerei i te waa UK). I whakahaua e te kooti o Switzerland i mua tata nei a Sauber 'ki te karo i te mahi' e kore ai e whakaaetia e Van der Garde tetahi o nga nohoanga whakataetae e rua, engari kua whakatauhia e Sauber ki te whawhai i to raatau kokonga. I kii te rangatira o te roopu Monisha Kaltenborn, he roia o mua, i te Paraire: 'I te mea kei te aroaro o te kooti tenei take kaore e tika kia korero au mo nga korero motuhake. Heoi anō, ka tangohia e mātou ngā kaupae katoa e tika ana hei tiaki i tō mātou kamupene, i tēnei kapa me ōna painga. 'He wā wero te tau kua hipa mō mātou, engari i te wā o te tau 2015 kua arotahi mātou ki te whakatakoto i ngā kaupae ki te whakarite i ngā hua pai rawa atu mō ngā kaiwhaiwhai o F1.'
