Brendon Hartley: Endurance racing would help Daniil Kvyat's F1 return hopes

Toro Rosso's Brendon Hartley thinks Red Bull outcast Daniil Kvyat could learn a lot from his own journey back to the Formula One grid.

Kvyat was dropped from Toro Rosso duty and the entire Red Bull programme late last year as the team after struggling for form during the campaign. That demotion was followed by Carlos Sainz moving to Renault, meaning Toro Rosso soon settled on Pierre Gasly and Hartley as its race line-up -- one it has continued with for 2018.

For Hartley, it was a remarkable and unlikely return. Himself a former Red Bull junior, the New Zealander had been dropped from the programme in 2010, only to find success in the World Endurance Championship.
