FORMULA ONE: Former world champion Fernando Alonso is throwing caution to the wind as he bids to overhaul runaway leader Sebastian Vettel in the race for the Formula One title. The Ferrari driver, winner of last Sunday’s British Grand Prix, is 92 points behind Vettel with nine of the 19 races gone. The Spaniard said: “We have to be realistic because that is a very big gap. This will involve taking a few more risks, and maybe it will happen that we pay a high price for that, but there is no alternative. We are definitely not giving up.”
