Mark Webber reckons Red Bull will soon be forced to put all their eggs in one basket and back one driver for the title, and hopefully they will choose him.
Red Bull have already had their fair share on team-mate issues this season with Webber and Sebastian Vettel crashing into each other in Turkey followed by the team seeming to favour Vettel in Britain.
The Bulls, though, have insisted throughout the Championship that they do not have a number one driver, saying Webber and Vettel will always be allowed to race.
But with Webber now holding a healthy 28-point lead over Vettel after finishing second in Sunday's Belgian GP while a dismal performance from Vettel saw him finish outside the points, the Aussie believes Red Bull will soon have to back just one man for the World title.
"McLaren have won many Championships and have a good trophy cabinet, Red Bull have a good trophy cabinet but not as good," said the 34-year-old. "I think it depends on how hungry we are to try and do that.
"I think it is too early at the moment to say that (one driver should have number one status), but maybe there is a different strategy compared to McLaren.
"It's still too early at the moment but not too far away."
McLaren could also be faced with a similar situation shortly as Belgian GP winner Hamilton is now leading the title race with 182 points. In comparison, his team-mate Jenson Button has just 147 after crashing out on Sunday afternoon.
"I think today Jenson was very unfortunate," Hamilton said of his team-mate's accident, which was by no means the reigning World Champ's fault.
"I get the same treatment as Jenson and vice versa and that enables us to both score maximum points, so I don't feel there should be any preferential treatment. The team do their best, the maximum for each of us so no more they could do."
Added to that, the 2008 World Champ insists that with 150 points still to play for, the title race is not just between himself and Webber.
"You have seen in the last few races how quickly things can change so we still have a long way to go, and many points to be grabbed by any of us drivers fighting for the Championship," said Hamilton.
"The closest rival to me at the moment in terms of points is Mark but I still think the Championship is open. We want to make sure that is not the case after another few races."
