While Fernando Alonso would like to finish second in the Drivers' Championship, the Spaniard reckons securing a second race victory would be even better.
The Ferrari driver is currently sitting in third place, 13 points behind Jenson Button, but with a total of 50 points to play for, second is still a very real possibility.
However, more than second, he wants another 25-point haul to go with the one he claimed at the British GP back in July.
"We've now come to the end of the Championship: there's still second place in the Drivers' standings to play for but, to be honest, I would we much happier if we could add another win to the one we took at Silverstone in July," Alonso said.
"Talking to the guys in the team I can see they would really love to give me the chance to come second in the Championship.
"I'm delighted it's like that because I know they feel it would be some kind of recognition for the efforts that have been put in by everyone during the season.
"But you know how we drivers are made: we always want to come first and the other positions are less important."
The Spaniard, though, concedes that beating the Red Bulls and McLarens won't be an easy task for Ferrari especially as they are also falling short of their rivals in qualifying.
"I completely appreciate that winning will be very difficult. In this closing part of the season the relative positions are very clear but we have also seen there are some conditions in which we can fight for victory: as happened in Suzuka, for example.
"We know if we all get everything right we can fight for the top three but our natural qualifying position is on the third row. Then in the race things can go differently but that is the realistic situation. So our target is the podium.
"Apart from anything else that result would allow me to fill a gap in my trophy cabinet as Abu Dhabi is the only race on the calendar from which I have yet to bring home silverware."
