Brendon Hartley says he was "surprised'' to read that this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix could be his last.
In China, Hartley and Toro Rosso teammate Pierre Gasly collided, something which nearly occurred again during qualifying in Baku two weeks later. Hartley then crashed heavily during final practice for the Spanish Grand Prix fueling speculation he might be on the verge of being replaced.
The former Le Mans 24 Hours winner says his recent blips in the previous rounds have overshadowed his better moments in 2018 such as his qualifying performances against teammate Gasly in the opening three rounds and his first career points in Baku.
