LONDON, Oct 21, 2007 (AFP) - British Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone voiced confidence Sunday that rookie championship leader Lewis Hamilton can win the drivers´ title in Brazil.

Ecclestone also said there was no need for Hamilton´s McLaren bosses to favour the 22-year-old over his more experienced team-mate mate defending champion team-mate Fernando Alonso, because he is simply so good.

"I don´t think they need to favour anybody, I think Lewis will win quite easily so I don´t think there is any necessity to favour anybody," he told BBC radio ahead of the Sao Paolo race, the last of the season.

"Just look at his CV and you´ll see the reason. He´s proved it. He´s the new kid on the block and he´s leading the world championship in the last race," he added.

Hamilton leads Alonso by four points going into Sunday´s showdown in which Finn Kimi Raikkonen could also clinch the title for Ferrari if he wins the race and the two McLaren men fail to score sufficient points to take the title.
