Hartley eyes test drive with Toro Rosso

Hartley eyes test drive with Toro Rosso

21 April 2008

British F3 driver Brendon Hartley hopes to become Scuderia Toro Rosso's test driver in 2009. The driver from New Zealand is currently racing in the British F3 series with Carlin and finished just outside the podium in the opening round at Oulton Park.

His manager Johnston said about Hartley's future plans: "In the near future, a F1 drive is not possible. Brendon has to win the British F3 championship before he goes anywhere. He has to do very well this year and then move on to GP2. He is doing some componentry testing for Torro Roso but that is all it is.

"If he does good this year, he could become a fulltime test driver with Torro Rosso next year."
