Watch: Sebastian Vettel wins the Johnny Wakefield trophy

The World Championship runner-up Sebastian Vettel has been awarded with the Johnny Wakefield trophy after setting the fastest lap in the British Grand Prix. Vettel was unable to pick up the award from the BRDC (British racing drivers' Club), but he sent this message in.

Vettel beat pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton in Silverstone and looked likely to kick on from that point. After a fantastic tussle at the end of the race, Vettel won and created a lead in the championship. The German won just one race after Silverstone.
