Sergio Perez is not having too good a weekend in Imola so far. In qualifying, he got no further than P11, and climbing up the grid during the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix is also difficult for the Mexican on a different strategy. The Red Bull Racing driver also made a trip through the gravel trap, something that later happened to Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton. Perez went wide in Rivazza, while Hamilton made a mistake in Acque Minerali.
