Wu Hausman test to test for endogeneity

I have a model and I suspect endogeneity. I want to test whether this is the case with a Wu hausman test, though I can't find anywhere how to do this.

The following regression have been performed:

library(AER)
ivreg1 <- 
  ivreg(budget~ policyfactor+ control1 + control 2 | IV + control1 + control2, data=df)

df <- data.frame(
        budget = c(10, 8, -7, 8, 3, 2, 0.5, 1.5, -2, -15, 30, -0.5, 12, 18),
  policyfactor = c(1L, 1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 1L, 1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 1L, 0L, 1L, 1L),
            IV = c(17L,46L,18L,23L,35L,10L,0L,19L,
                   15L,12L,21L,6L,27L,10L),
      control1 = c(29.4,27.4,33.2,27.1,27.4,34.2,
                   26.8,32.9,26,26.3,27.3,33.4,23.5,31.3),
      control2 = c(1.3,20,-0.2,3,3.4,0.3,-1.1,1.9,
                   -2,-1.6,2.8,1.9,2,1.8)
)

The Hausman test is available in the summary method using diagnostics=TRUE option.

summary(ivreg1, diagnostics=TRUE)
# Call:
#   AER::ivreg(formula = budget ~ policyfactor + control1 + control2 | 
#                IV + control1 + control2, data = df)

#   Min      1Q  Median      3Q     Max 
# -18.292  -4.920  -1.719   4.057  23.612
