Red Bull driver Mark Webber hasn’t won a single race this season despite his teammate, Sebastian Vettel, taking ten victories and the title with three races remaining.
The Australian is desperate to change that, and says he’d rather win just one of the final three races, than finish second in the drivers’ championship.
“To get on top of that podium again is a beautiful feeling and I’d probably take a win over second place [in the championship] to be honest,” AAP quote him as saying.
“But anyway if we get second I still haven’t done that before, so it would be good.”
The 35-year-old is hoping for a tighter season in 2012, one which sees him more closely matching Vettel, even if tempers flare, as they did in 2010 when the two were fighting for victory.
“The relationship is fine. It’s a lot easier than it was last year because it hasn’t been much of a battle so, hopefully, we can have a more interesting relationship next year… Let’s hope it’s tighter than this year, that’s for sure, and I’m pretty sure it will be, but the usual suspects [will be in the hunt].”
