I don’t think we know that for sure. If the race had lasted a few laps longer maybe all the cars would have experienced tire failure.

The Mercs had visibly blistered shoulders LONG before they failed, same with Sainz's car. The Ferarris, Renaults, Stroll's pink Merc and Gasly's Alpha thing had no blisters at the end and could have probably run ten more laps.One factor that mat have played a part is described here.

I don’t think we know that for sure.

What is known is that they were pounding the dirt with the left side exiting Becketts enough that a new curb has been installed there.
