Poor German GP Result For Alvaro

Well, that didn’t go too well did it?
Bit of a dud weekend for Alvaro really; reports suggesting he really wasn’t comfortable the whole time.
Having qualified ninth, he came off on lap three – dropping him to the back of the field – recovering to seventeeth place by the end of the race.
It’s a shame as I’d really been hoping for one of his full-on fightbacks up to something like a podium.
One to forget really… 🙁
