Triple Eight's newest Hybrid signing had a very impressive debut in Hockenheim, A few problems meant that qualifying didn't go quite to plan but in the race he proved very quick and skillfully avoided some big crashes in front of him.
Running solid top 10 and on older tyres than most around him a hiccup in the pit window saw him drop down to 12th. As Sylvain was about to pit another driver was on fresher tyres was trying a move into the last corner unaware that Sylvain was pitting and the nature of Hockenheim's pit entrance, caused a clash of wheels, luckily Sylvain could continue on but had to run another lap on worn tyres.
A top 10 could have been on the cards but this is a result Triple Eight and Sylvain will build upon.
