Mark Webber insists he has come to Singapore to win this weekend and will not be happy to settle for simple points finishes at any point during the rest of the season.

Webber currently leads the title chase by five points after picking up eight points for a sixth place finish at the Italian Grand Prix two weeks ago. However, he said he is still aiming to win as many races as possible rather than opting for a low-risk approach.

"Usually you get what you deserve in this game," Webber said. "We know non-finishes are not part of the menu, so we need to make sure we don't do that and I need to keep scoring. It's absolutely as boring as anything but that's what it is: getting as many points as I can and keep chipping away and winning makes a difference. That's what our goal is, to try and do here.

"It's completely suicidal to sit back and say 'OK, I can pick up fifth and sixth'. That's not good enough. We know that in Monza, those kind of races, well particularly the race that I had there wasn't what we want to do for the rest of the year and we're looking forward to some podiums in the future and that's what we need to do at this stage, to keep in the hunt."

He added that he fancies his chances in Singapore and believes the circuit will suit the Red Bull better than Spa Francorchamps and Monza.

"It's a track which should be OK for our car; it's bumpy and a few things here and there which have been pretty good for us in the past, so we're optimistic that we can continue to chip away, keep boxing and it's important to do that in the next few weeks and then the closer it gets the more exciting it will be.

"Without doubt we knew Spa and Monza were going to be probably a little bit more challenging for us. We know we have a fantastic car wherever we go in the world but we probably wouldn't go to Spa and Monza every day of the week to take our opposition on because there are not many tracks like that on the calendar. We are definitely focused on the tracks where we have the most of them and this is a similar characteristic to how most of the circuits are if you like, so we expect to be a bit more competitive here."
