Because this topic deals with Silverstone, I assumed you meant "last year Silverstone".

Earlier you said that Toyota was "over a second faster than Audi" last year. Now you are saying that they were "a second faster" on some points in the season. Which metric are you using? Which track do you mean?

This is a comparison of the median lap time:

car	Silverstone	Interlagos	Bahrain	Fuji	Shanghai
Audi #1	1:47.496	1:25.702	1:49.474	1:29.959	1:51.601
Audi #2	1:47.745	1:25.601	1:49.486	1:30.723	1:51.308
Toyota #7	1:47.185	1:25.212	1:48.772	1:30.027	1:50.743
diff	-0.311	-0.389	-0.702	+0.068	-0.565

This is a comparison of the average of the 20% fastest lap times:

car	Silverstone	Interlagos	Bahrain	Fuji	Shanghai
Audi #1	1:46.581	1:24.780	1:48.359	1:29.310	1:50.840
Audi #2	1:46.588	1:24.805	1:48.504	1:29.802	1:50.580
Toyota #7	1:46.011	1:24.279	1:48.099	1:29.328	1:49.854
diff	-0.570	-0.501	-0.270	+0.018	-0.726

Note that the comparison of the Bahrain lap time is not so meaningful, since the Toyota did not finish the race.

Perhaps you are considering ultimate pace, instead of consistent race pace?

This is a comparison of the qualifying time:

car	Silverstone	Interlagos	Bahrain	Fuji	Shanghai
Audi #1	1:43.663	1:23.332	1:45.888	1:27.639	1:48.373
Audi #2	1:43.673	1:23.147	1:45.814	1:28.370	1:48.597
Toyota #7	1:44.411	1:22.363	1:46.254	1:27.499	1:48.273
diff	+0.748	-0.784	+0.440	-0.140	-0.100

This is a comparison of the fastest race lap:

car	Silverstone	Interlagos	Bahrain	Fuji	Shanghai
Audi #1	1:44.520	1:23.740	1:47.274	1:28.391	1:48.924
Audi #2	1:44.599	1:23.070	1:47.140	1:28.967	1:49.664
Toyota #7	1:44.059	1:23.419	1:47.128	1:28.088	1:48.815
diff	-0.461	+0.349	-0.012	-0.303	-0.109
