F1 | Toro Rosso, Marko reassures Hartley: "he will also be with us in France"

Despite the contact with Lance Stroll during the first lap of the Canadian Grand Prix, Brendon Hartley will also get in the car at Le Castellet, scene of the next French Grand Prix.

According to what was declared by Helmut Marko, head of the Red Bull group's drivers, the New Zealander is not in question for the next round at Paul Ricard and will keep his seat within the Scuderia Toro Rosso. The Austrian Manager, we remember, has explored various paths for the succession of the former Porsche, with Lando Norris and Pascal Wehrlein at the top of the wish list of Dietrich Mateschitz's right-hand man. A final decision will presumably be made after the triptych of appointments scheduled for next month.

Here are the words of Brendon Hartley: “The contact with Lance Stroll in Canada, at least for us, was just a racing accident. Real bad luck. Hartley is not in question for the future and I can assure you that he will be regularly in the car at Paul Ricard."
