Marussia boss John Booth says anything but a Lewis Hamilton championship win on Sunday would be a travesty for the sport.
Booth, who’s own team won’t be present at the final race of the season after it entered administration, is backing the Briton to succeed, believing he deserves the title more than Nico Rosberg.
“It would be a travesty if Lewis did not win the championship this year,” Booth told the Mirror.
“It has been fascinating to watch the struggle between the two as they have been outstanding,” he added. “But Lewis certainly deserves this world championship.”
Hamilton has a 17 point lead over team-mate Rosberg, whilst he has won ten races to Rosberg’s five, leading to some assessing that it would be unfair for double points to decide a title in Rosberg’s favour.
World number one golfer Rory Mcllroy is one of those.
“I don’t think their season should be decided on one race with the double points,” he told the Telegraph. “Lewis has won twice as many Grands Prix as Nico Rosberg, but there’s still a chance that Nico might win.
“It makes it exciting for the fans but I’m sure Lewis doesn’t think it’s that exciting. Hopefully, he does come out on top because he’s the deserving champion.”
