Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua kī a Bernie Ecclestone ka taea hoki te Grand Prix o Tiamana o te tau e whai ake nei te hinga i te taha o te huarahi i nga ra noa iho i muri i te wehenga o te whakataetae o tenei tau i te raupapa o te Formula One. E ai ki ta raatau kirimana, kua whakaritea a Hockenheim ki te manaaki i te huihuinga i te tau 2016, engari i tenei wa wawe o te F1 supremo Ecclestone kaore i te mohio mena ka haere tonu. I te pātai mēnā ka taea e ia te whakapumautia ka tū te reira, Ecclestone, korero ki te rōpū pāpāho tīpakohia i roto i te paddock i te Malaysian Grand Prix, ka whakahoki: 'No.' E ai ki a Bernie Ecclestone (māui) tērā pea ka ngaro atu te Whakataetae Nui o Tiamana i te maramataka o te Formula Kotahi i te tau e whai ake nei. I whakamohiohia e Hockenheim he kirimana mo te 2016 me te 2018, ka tapiritia e Ecclestone: 'Kaore he rereketanga. He maha nga tangata he kirimana.' I kii a Ecclestone mena kaore i taea e Tiamana te utu i te whakataetae i tenei tau, ka uaua ki te utu i te utu manaaki i te tau e whai ake nei. I whakaritea te Nurburgring ki te manaaki i te whakataetae i te marama o Hurae, engari na te maha o nga raru tahua i muri i nga whakaaturanga i akiakihia ki te whakahoki. Katahi ka tahuri a Ecclestone ki Hockenheim ki te whakauru atu ki te whakakii i te korenga, engari i pakaru nga whakawhitiwhitinga ka pau te waa i te mea i whakapono nga apiha o te rohe kaore i nui to raatau wa ki te whakatairanga me te hoko tiikiti. Ko Hockenheim rāua ko Nurburgring te wāhi i whakahaerehia ai te German Grand Prix mō ngā tau e whitu kua hipa. 'Ko te raru i Tiamana ko te Nurburgring i whakapau i te nui o te moni i tangohia e ratou,' ka tapiritia e Ecclestone. 'Kāore rātau i hiahia ki te whakapau i tā rātau i whakapau ai, nō reira kāore rātau i hiahia ki te nama i te nui o tā rātau nama. 'Kua wareware rātau ki te utu i a rātau, ā, nā tērā i puta ai ētahi āwangawanga. I tukuna he karere kino.' Kāore a Ecclestone i whakapumautia mēnā ka whakahaere a Hockenheim i te whakataetae o te tau e whai ake nei ahakoa he kirimana kei te tū. Kei te tere haere ngā whakataetae Pākehā hītori, kei te ngaro te wāhi o Wīwī, o San Marino, ā, ināianei ko Tiamana i runga i te maramataka i ngā wā tata nei. Ko Itari tetahi atu ka uaua ki te utu i tana huarahi i tua atu i te mutunga o tana kirimana o naianei i te tau 2016 ki te kore te kawanatanga a motu e uru mai ki te awhina, ki te whakaheke ranei i a Ecclestone i ana utu....
I whakakorea te Whakataetae Nui o Tiamana i te maramataka o te Tauwhāinga Kotahi o tēnei tau. Kāore i taea e ngā rangatira o Hockenheim te whakaae ki tētahi kirimana hei manaaki i te whakataetae i whakaritea i te marama o Hūrae. E mea ana a Bernie Ecclestone ka ngaro pea te Tiamana Grand Prix i te tau e whai ake nei. Kei te raru ano a Itari ina mutu tana kirimana o naianei i te tau 2016.
