British rookie Max Chilton believes he deserves another season in Formula One. While his team Marussia recently confirmed the re-signing of Jules Bianchi for 2014, Chilton remains in limbo. But the 22-year-old from Reigate said: "I feel I'm showing I deserve a seat for next year.

"Everyone gets judged, so you have to prove yourself, which is hard for rookies these days because there is so little testing, which means it's going to take part of the season to get up to speed.

"I admit, at times, I haven't got things right, like at Silverstone and Germany, but on the whole it has been pretty good, and since the August break especially I couldn't have done much more."
