It’ll be interesting to see who comes out on top, that’s for sure. Hartley was passed over by the RB driver program in favour of both Ricciardo and Kvyat. He wasn’t ready back then by his own omission, but he has gone on to learn a lot driving in WEC. He’s looked OK so far in an F1 car, but not really great. Gasly is a different prospect, he’s young, full of confidence and beans and has a CV that by today’s standards in F1 should give him a shot... I however... well I’ve never rated him. Can’t put my finger on why that is, but I haven’t. However, seeing him in an F1 car recently? He’s started to change my mind, the safe bet is Hartley to come out on top, but I have a sneaky suspicion Gasly will prove to be the quicker driver over one lap, but Hartley more consistent in the races, we’ll see.
