Macau WTCC: Title favourite Rob Huff sure of 'clean' series finale
Rob Huff is confident of a clean and sporting World Touring Car Championship finale at Macau this weekend
The Briton leads the championship after his Chevrolet team-mates Yvan Muller and Alain Menu collided while disputing the lead during the most recent WTCC race at Shanghai.
That incident left Muller with a post-race penalty for causing an avoidable incident and dropped him 41 points behind Huff with only 55 available at Macau. Menu sits between the pair, 35 points adrift of Huff.
Despite knowing that his team-mates' title hopes rest on him failing to score in at least one of the two races, Huff does not expect to be the victim of any further intra-team incidents.
"There are a lot of people suggesting foul play might be involved and all the rest of it, but I don't think that for one minute," Huff told AUTOSPORT.
"I certainly hope that's not the case. If it is, I will be very upset and very angry, but I am going there to win a world championship and I will do whatever it takes to do that."
Should Huff become champion, he will be the first British driver to take the WTCC crown since Andy Priaulx won the last of his three in 2007.
