Sergio Perez crashes at the end of the third and final Free Practice session in Imola.
With the clock winding down, the Mexican driver misjudged the chicane using an aggressive line that saw him heavily use the kerbs. This decision proved costly as it unsettled his RB20, causing him to lose control and subsequently crash nose-first into the barriers.
At the time of his accident, Perez was attempting to improve his time, trailing McLaren’s Oscar Piastri by a significant 0.9 seconds after two sectors.The incident places immense pressure on the Red Bull mechanics. With the qualifying session looming just hours away, the team faces a tight deadline to assess and repair the substantial damages to Perez's car.
