5 drivers who need to improve to retain their F1 seats in 2019

#4 Brendon Hartley

F1 Grand Prix of Germany - Practice

Brendon Hartley is at number four on the list and one of the only drivers I feel sorry for on the grid. He has had a tough time this season with bad luck during races and reliability issues costing him points, hampering his chances of a seat next year.

Joining the team in the last few races in 2017, he impressed with his performances and was given a contract to race this year, but he has found that his season has not quite gone to plan.

He did, however, grab a point in Germany last weekend which saw him double his points in the standings. 2 points might not be a lot so far into the season but the confidence from Hockenheim might leave him in good stead heading into Hungary.
