Sergio Perez finished eighth at Imola, his worst result of the season. After the race, the Mexican Red Bull Racing driver explained this low position due to the peculiarities of the Italian circuit.
Sergio Perez: “I think this result is due to the characteristics of the track. In any case, I am happy that Max brought the team victory.
This weekend we saw that McLaren and Ferrari have taken a step forward, and in return we have to keep working. The season is long and in the remaining races it is necessary to make the most of every opportunity.
I think eighth place is the best result I could hope for. I initially understood that it would be very difficult to regain positions, but I hoped that the safety car would enter the track at the right time and allow me to return to the fight.
The first part of the race turned out to be very difficult. I think the traffic affected my race a lot. Moreover, in turn sixteen I locked my wheels, went straight, lost time and damaged the car. The race turned out to be very, very difficult.”
