"I’m very happy to be heading to Brazil with Toro Rosso. With the hel🍌p of the team I made big progress in Mexico and I’m confident that, with a little bit more luck than last time out, we can fight for points🅰," Hartley said.

"I’m starting to feel at home in the F1 paddock and Sao Paulo is a track I enj꧋oyed and know quite well from when I raced t𓆏here back in 2014 for the final round of the FIA WEC Championship.
