Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel believes it would be wrong for the team to favour Mark Webber as the Formula One championship enters its final six races of the campaign.

Webber sits just three points off the top of the tree while Vettel trails his Australian team-mate by 28 points.

Rumours suggest that Red Bull are ready to favour Webber in the run-in as they look to land the title, but the young German insists it would be a bad move for the team to adopt.

He sad: "For a driver this makes no sense – you don't give up trying to win the championship until it's mathematically impossible.

"For the team it makes no sense to favour one if that means penalising the other because you need both drivers scoring maximum points to win the constructors' championship.

"With two drivers close in the championship it is too dangerous to choose."
