Brendon Hartley admits he felt “reliel” as he scored his first F1 point in Baku, saying it has taken a lot of the pressure off his shoulders.

Hartley stepped up into Formula 1 last season with Toro Rosso in what was a difficult end to the season for the Red Bull junior team.

Swapping to Honda power for this year’s championship, Toro Rosso have shown gains out on track resulting in a P5 for Pierre Gasly in Bahrain.

Hartley, though, was struggling to work his way into the top ten.

He finally did so in Baku last Sunday, bringing his STR13 home in tenth place.
