Formula 1 | Toro Rosso is on Hartley's side: "We are with him 100%, even if..."

La Toro Rosso back Brendon Hartley. Protagonist of an unfortunate and difficult start to the championship, the New Zealand driver was put on the grill by public opinion, so much so as to generate the first speculations from a market perspective. Interviewed by Newshub, Graham watson, team manager of the Faenza team, showed Hartley all his closeness in this delicate period: “We want it to be successful. As a Toro Rosso team we are 100% with Brendon" - he has declared.

The decision regarding a possible dismissal of Hartley, however, would not be up to Toro Rosso, but rather to the parent company Red Bull, owner of the card: “Our drivers are predominantly managed by Red Bull and then we as a team work with these two guys and try to create the possibility for them to be future world champions. We have no actual control over what happens to our drivers at Toro Rosso" – explained Watson.
