Sebastian Vettel says he had "no warning" of the engine failure he suffered in the dying stages of second practice for t🧜he Formula🧸 1 70th Anniversary Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Vettel’s Ferrari ground to a halt in the la🌠tter stages of FP2, ♈with his car leaking oil down the old start-finish straight on the entry to Copse.

Speaking of the failure, Vettel said: “No, no warning, was very sudden, obviously a failure, now we have to see what it is. It w꧙ill probably take a couple of days as the engine will get shipped back and analysed.”

Vettel was a “little bit happier” with the balance of his Ferrari despite languishing♏ well down the time-sheets.

“I think as I touched on💯 yesterday we tried a couple of things,” Vettel added. “Overall we were a little bit happier but I’m obviously not really any more competitive so we’ll have to have a look.”

🦹Like at last weekend’s British Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc has fared better and looks to be a contender fo📖r the top five in qualifying tomorrow.

With tyres being the main topic of conversation at Silverstone, Leclerc says Ferrari needs to improve 𒀰its performance on the yellow-marked mediums given that the majority of the teams will beꦏ looking to progress into Q3 from Q2 on this tyre.

“I think the lack of performance on the medium is where we need to work the most as it is going to be important,” Leclerc added. “I think maꦐny cars will try to go through Q2 on the Medium tyres and we need to be competitive on this tyre to have a chance so we need to put our effort onto that.”
