Lewis Hamilton set the fastest lap at Silverstone but Sebastian Vettel was clearly struggling for pace long before the tyre failure which cost him a podium.
The Ferrari driver’s pace had risen from the low 1’32s into the 1’33s and then 1’34s before his dramatic front-left tyre failure. When Hamilton set the fastest lap of the race on the 48th tour with a 1’30.621, Vettel was 3.7 seconds slower.
Red Bull put a fresh set of tyres on Max Verstappen’s car at the end of the race as they feared a similar failure to Ferrari’s. He used them to set the second-fastest lap time of the race.

Yep, with fresh tyres for his last lap it looks like he just decided to give it a shot and try to get his first fastest lap. He almost got it.
