Kiwi driver Brendon Hartley has completed a career best result at the USA Grand Prix in Texas following a couple of disqualifications after the race.
Returning to the track he made his debut for Toro Rosso last season, Hartley finished the race in 11th place, one spot outside of the points. However he was moved up the final placings after Esteban Ocon and Kevin Magnussen were disqualified.
The ninth placed finish the Kiwi's best result in Formula One after 10th placed finishes earlier this year at Azerbaijan and Germany.
Force India driver Ocon finished eighth but was ruled to have exceeded permitted fuel flow limits on the opening lap. Haas driver Magnussen ended the race in ninth but used too much fuel and was also disqualified.
Hartley moves to four points on the Formula One standings but remains in 19th spot out of 20 drivers. He did finish ahead of Toro Rosso Pierre Gasly teammate for the fifth time this season as the Kiwi looks to book a seat for another season.
