Marussia driver Max Chilton has said that he deserves another year in the Formula One after proving his pace and consistency.

“I feel I’m showing not just the team, but everyone on the whole, 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,” he told sportinglife.com.

“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. I’ve been really happy with my performance, as have the team, and I’ve been really happy with them, so it’s going really well,” he added.

Marussia, who already confirmed Jules Bianchi will be retained next season is yet to decide on the future of Chilton. Chilton has been showing a rise in form in the second half of the season and will be looking forward to retaining his driver seat for next season.
