Brendon Hartley is certainly under a lot of pressure for his seat at Toro Rosso, but the Kiwi is still optimistic about his debut in Canada this weekend.
On the Toro Rosso website, Hartley revealed that his colleagues have told him repeatedly how good of a track Montréal is.

"I'm optimistic about coming weekend."
