Mark Webber has refuted suggestions that if he doesn't win this season's Drivers' Championship, he will never win a title.
Arriving in Abu Dhabi for the title showdown, Webber is second in the standings, eight points behind Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
The picture, though, would've been a lot different if Webber had crashed out at last month's Korean GP, which ultimately cost him the lead in the title race.
And although he admits that "Fernando is in the best position" than the chasing pack, he is confident that if he doesn't win it this season, he will have another shot in 2011.
"I want to do it on Sunday, if it doesn't happen then I will have another crack next year," said the 34-year-old Australian.
"I know I have been very fortunate to even have a chance to get to this point, I am not getting greedy but I know it was good to have a chance.
"It is human nature to always want more, it would be nice to close the championship out as champion. But the way the championship has been, if there were two or three races after this it would still go down to the last one.
"It's been a long season for all of us, and as the season goes on you achieve so many amazing things. I respect the guys I race against and that is why we get out of bed, to beat them.
"If I don't get the Championship there will be a small hole in it, but a lot of great memories still."
The Red Bull driver added: "It is going to be disappointing if it doesn't happen, but there are still a lot of positives this year.
"I don't think my odds were too good at start of year, to be fighting for Championship. My odds are much smaller now."
