Lewis Hamilton deserves to win 2017 F1 Championship: Jenson Button

Jenson Button has backed Lewis Hamilton to win the 2017 Formula One Championship. Four wins from his past five outings - the only blemish a runners-up finish in Malaysia - allied with some misfortune for primary title rival Sebastian Vettel, have propelled Hamilton into a 59-point lead with four races to come. Victory in Austin, where he has won in each of the past three years, combined with Vettel finishing outside the top five, would see Hamilton claim glory and move alongside the Ferrari man on four world titles.
