Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E wehi ana a Damon Hill ka raru a McLaren i te tīmatanga o te whakataetae Formula Kotahi e haere ake nei. Ka tae atu te kapa o Ingarangi ki Melbourne mō te hui o tēnei wiki i muri i tētahi hotoke uaua. I whakahaeretia e nga miihini Honda mo te wa tuatahi i roto i nga tau e rua tekau, i whakahaerehia e raatau he iti ake o nga porowhita i tetahi atu roopu i te wa o te whakamatautau o mua.

'Ko te wikitoria anake te mea pai ki a McLaren,' ka tāpiri a Hill. Engari ki te mutu i a rātau te wā e wero ana mō ngā tūru, kua tino neke whakamua rātau.
