Jamie Whincup says he will do whatever he can to help teammate Shane van Gisbergen win the Supercars championship this weekend.
And he has not ruled out using controversial team orders.
Ford fans were livid when Whincup, who is out of title contention, appeared to dramatically slow down at the last round at Auckland, allowing van Gisbergen to pass and finish second.
The result restricted Ford gun Scott McLaughlin's series lead over van Gisbergen to just 14 points going into this weekend's final round in Newcastle, ensuring the closest title race in a decade.
Red Bull Racing team claimed their driver Whincup was simply running out of fuel in Auckland but social media went into meltdown over what they thought were blatant team orders, sparking an official investigation.
