		The New Paper Crystal Chan dropped by our National Library event to catch an exclusive on Darren before his talk. Darren shared details when he made McLaren fume by exposing their secret second brake which gave the team an edge. As soon as the photo was published in 1997 F1 Racing magazine, the rest of the teams copied it and fitted second brakes as well. It was banned the next year from the FIA rules.
