Yeah that's a point, Hartley has been part of developing that Porsche to championship status. Along with his F1 sim work, RB might be banking on Hartley being very good at development work with the Honda. I don't think they'd expect as much out of Gasly, as he struggled to get the GP2 Dams set up. Did pretty well with Prema the following year but how much of that was just Prema's massive resources that they shifted over from F3, where they've clearly been gotten slower this year.
No one else in the Gp2 field will have Hartley's development experience either.
