Toro Rosso driver Brendon Hartley has offered some career advice to Danil Kvyat, the driver he replaced at Torro Rosso.
The New Zealander, who replaced Kvyat following the Russian’s removal from the team after the 2017 US Grand Prix believes he should think about a change in racing style.
Hartley, who was dropped from a driver development scheme in 2010 before finding success in the FIA World Endurance Championship, said:
“Endurance taught me a lot, because against two top teammates you're in the same car, there's no hiding, and then you start learning off each other.''
"You really have this open environment where, if one guy is quicker, you have to accept that very quickly.''

"Say 'yeah, he was quicker today', what's he doing, let's chat to him and work it out. That for me taught me a lot.”
Hartley, who won last years Le Mans 24 Hour Race before being taken on at Torro Rosso, also added:
“I think young drivers are sometimes very guilty of immediately blaming the equipment or the team, rather than looking inward a little bit.”
But for now Kvyat, will be driving for Ferrari as a development driver behind Sebastian Vettel and Kim Räikkönen, where perhaps oppurtunities may arise this coming season.
