Vettel to give up win to Webber

Sebastian Vettel has hinted he might be willing to give up a race victory to help his team perform a perfect score in 2011.

Red Bull has already secured the Constructors' and Drivers' World championships but team mate Mark Webber is fourth behind Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button with three races to run. Webber hasn't won this season; Vettel has done so 10 times so Webber might need some help to reduce the 13-point gap to second place.

FOCUS ON WEBBER

"With three races left, we hope for the best results possible for ourselves but also for the team," Vettel told AFP

Team boss Christian Horner added: "Webber has had a very strong year and we want to get him second in the drivers' championship. That's our remaining target for the rest of the year - to get him a race win and finish the season in style."

Asked if that might involve him giving up a win so that Webber could reach the top step of the podium, Vettel answered: "Yeah, definitely."
