SILVERSTONE: Sebastian Vettel has urged Red Bull to respond after Fernando Alonso earned Ferrari’s first win of the season at the British Grand Prix. Vettel, who leads the championship by 80 points with 10 races to go, fears Ferrari are capable of closing the gap. “It was a lesson to learn,” Vettel told Red Bull Racing’s website. “It is now up to us to refocus and come back stronger in the next two races. Improved pace from a heavily-updated Ferrari and a pit-stop mistake by Vettel helped Alonso to his first win of the campaign.
