Martin Whitmarsh believes that a single point could be enough to win this year's Formula 1 championship.

McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh believes that this season's Formula 1 championship could be decided by a single point.

There have been seven different winners from the seven races so far this campaign, Lewis Hamilton winning the most recent Grand Prix in Canada.

The top three drivers in the table are separated by just three points, and Whitmarsh feels that the gap could be even smaller come the end of the season.

"In the past, there was an emphasis on big results," Whitmarsh said.

"But this year it seems that minor points placings could provide a decisive edge in the title battle.

"It's certainly feasible that this year's title could be won by a driver who scores only two or three grand prix wins, but who reinforces those victories with the most consistently solid approach."

The European Grand Prix in Valencia takes place this Sunday.
