There are only 3-4 races left in 2010 and there is no sign that Red Bull will stop short of Mark Webber, the champion.
Helmut Marko, a consultant recently indicated that the team would be open to accepting the number one status of the Australian over Sebastian Vettel.
Webber is still 21 points behind Vettel. But Vettel put his campaign on track with strong weekends in Singapore and then announced his intention of pushing on.
The German 23-year old in Singapore said that the drivers championship was still open.
According to Die Welt, he said that he and Webber had agreed to a professional approach to the next decisive races.
Vettel was quoted saying that Vettel said, “We will discover who is better.”
This means that Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, the only one of the top three teams with a chance to win the 2010 title is currently able to count on the support of his teammate.
Christian Horner, Red Bull boss, stated that it was almost certain with the way the season has moved backwards and forwards, that this would come down to the wire.
Alan Jones, the last Australian world champion, supported Vettel in a dog fight.
The former Williams driver said, “I think that if it comes down to a little bit of a heads-game, then I’ll back Mark every single time.”
Jones, 63, said that it was a “fantastic championship.” “We haven’t had one like it for years. Five people could be world champions with only four races remaining.”
