Sebastian Vettel insists there is no need to hit the panic button, despite seeing Lewis Hamilton slash the gap in the championship race to just one point.
Vettel, who has been in charge of this year's title battle ever since he won the opening round of the season in Australia, finished only seventh at Silverstone following a puncture.
The four-time champion was on course to cross the line in third, and lose just 10 points to Hamilton, before his dramatic tyre failure on the penultimate lap.
Hamilton's Mercedes team have won three of the last four grands prix and should have claimed victory in Baku too, only for Hamilton's headrest to come loose.
"There are plenty of positives," Vettel said.
"For sure, you look after every race where you are.
"This race was not good for us. Full stop. We did not get the result we wanted or that we probably deserved, but that is how it is. We cope with that and we move on."
Vettel's titanic tussle with Max Verstappen provided one of the highlights of the race.
The duo went wheel-to-wheel through Stowe and then Club, but Verstappen held his position to leave Vettel gesticulating with his hand at the 19-year-old.
"He wants to play bumper cars," Verstappen said over the team radio."
