"Yes. That's the goal, mate," he said in Korea.

His deficit to the championship lead, however, is 60 points, so with just five races to go, some in the paddock might think a better strategy for Webber would be to back his teammate Sebastian Vettel's realistic title challenge.

When that was put to him in Korea, Webber answered: "I need to win, so that's my goal. I've come here to push.

"It was a good little battle between Seb and I in Suzuka, he did a very good job in Q3. We did a very good job, and looking to finish the season as strongly as possible for myself," he insisted.

3 points further adrift, Briton Button has admitted his title push is now all but over.

"The constructors' is definitely on and that's the big aim I think. When I get out of the car at the end of the race and look at the points, that's the bit I really look at," he said.
