Oct.20 (GMM) 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 and the 24-year-old German have already secured the constructors' and drivers' world championships, but Mark Webber currently lies in only fourth place behind Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button with three races left to run.Webber has failed to win a single race in 2011 compared with Vettel's ten so far, so the Australian might need some help to curb the 13-point gap to second place."With three races left, we hope for the best results possible for ourselves but also for the team," Vettel is quoted by the AFP news agency.Agreed team boss Christian Horner: "He (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 remainder of the year -- to get him a race win and finish the season in style."When asked if that might involve him giving up a win so that Webber can reach the top step of the podium, Vettel answered: "Yeah, definitely."
