A last blast on super-soft tyres allowed Sebastian Vettel to set the fastest lap of the United States Grand Prix by almost two seconds.
The Ferrari drivers occupied the top two places in the fastest lap table as Raikkonen also used super-soft tyres after the first stint. He set his best lap time before half-distance and later dropped out.
Race winner Lewis Hamilton admitted he was nursing his engine during the race. His best lap time was only a few hundredths quicker than Kevin Magnussen’s, though the Renault driver also used super-soft tyres for the final stint.
