Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakataetae a John Watson i roto i te 152 o nga whakataetae Formula Kotahi i roto i te 10 tau. I wikitoria ia e rima nga wa, tae atu ki te 1981 British Grand Prix mo McLaren, a ka eke ki te 169 nga tohu mahi. Whai muri i tana wehenga mai i te hākinakina i te tau 1985, kua whai angitu a Watson i tana mahi pāpāho, a i tenei ra kei te tuhi ia mo MailOnline. I mua i te Whakataetae Nui o Malaysia i tēnei wiki, ka aromātai ia i te tīmatanga raruraru o McLaren ki te wa me te whakamataku o te whakarewa i Melbourne. Ko John Watson (matau) i whakaahuahia i te tau kua hipa me Sir Jackie Stewart, Karun Chandhok me Damon Hill. Kua neke atu a McLaren i ngā pūkaha Mercedes ki a Honda, ā, he āhua rite tonu ki ngā hononga katoa; he roa te wā. Kua haere a Formula One i te ara o te whakamātau ki te whakaiti i ngā utu, ā, hei hua, kua kite mātou i tētahi whakahekenga nui i roto i ngā whakamātautau ara e ārai ai i ngā tūponotanga a McLaren ki te whakapai ake i tēnei wā. E hiahia ana ahau kia whakaaetia ngā kapa ki te whakamātautau, nā te mea e whakaaro ana ahau kei te tīmata te iwi whānui ki te whakaaro he aha ta tātou e mātakitaki nei. Kei te kite tatou i tētahi mahi i roto i ngā kēmu hangarau tino taumata tiketike, kei te titiro rānei ki te Formula One hei whakangahau me te hākinakina? He aha te whāinga o te Formula One? A kei te whakaaro ia ki hea e haere ana? E mōhio ana ahau kua heke iho ngā tatauranga mātakitaki pouaka whakaata i Tiamana mō te Whakataetae Nui o Ahitereiria e whakatuwhera ana i te tau, tata ki te 50 ōrau i runga i te tikanga, ā, kāore au i te whakaaro he tohu tino pai tērā. I wikitoria a Lewis Hamilton i te whakataetae whakatuwheratanga o te tau i Ahitereiria i mua i a Nico Rosberg me Sebastian Vettel. I ārahi a Hamilton mai i te tīmatanga ki te mutunga i te wā i kaha ai a Mercedes i te whakataetae tuatahi o te tau hou o te Formula Kotahi. Tērā pea kāore i kino i Ingarangi nā te angitu o Lewis Hamilton, engari he taha kino o te mana, ā, i kite mātou i tērā i te huringa o te rau tau ki a Michael Schumacher me Ferrari, kātahi ki ngā tau e whā o Red Bull me Sebastian Vettel. Ko taku āwangawanga nui, ā, ko te tūmanako kāore au i te tino urupare i konei, he maha ngā kapa kei roto i te ara o te pit-lane e raru ana i te pūtea. Ko te take ā-ture a Giedo van der Garde ki a Sauber i Melbourne he tino whakama, ā, ko te kaupapa o te hui o Ahitereiria...
Ko John Watson, he kaihautū McLaren o mua, i āwangawanga i te whakataetae i Melbourne. E whakapono ana ia me noho te FIA me te CVC ki te matapaki i te ahunga o te F1. E 15 anake ngā motokā i tīmata i te Whakataetae Nui o Ahitereiria e whakatuwhera ana i te tau. E wehi ana a Watson kei te whakakahoretia ngā kaiwhaiwhai me ngā kaitautoko e te mana o Mercedes. Engari e whakaaro ana ia ka ora ake a McLaren me Honda mai i ngā tīmatanga uaua.
