Hartley and Gasly confirmed at Toro Rosso for Mexico!

Brendon Hartley and Pierre Gasly will race for Toro Rosso in next weekend's Mexican Grand Prix, the Faenza squad has announced.

The news puts Dany Kvyat once again on the sidelines, perhaps permanently, just a day after the Russian claimed he had achieved his best race of the season.

• Kvyat puts in a well-timed impressive performance

Gasly returns to Toro Rosso after a one race hiatus which saw the French driver travel all the way to Japan to contest the final of the Super Formula series, only for the round to be canceled following a typhoon and bad weather.

Hartley and Gasly's presence in Mexico isn't exactly a surprise as Toro Rosso promoted both drivers for evaluation purposes, with a multi-race test only making sense.
