Button will stay with McLaren in 2016

Button back with McLaren in 2016

McLaren Group CEO Ron Dennis is adamant Jenson Button’s stay at Woking will extend beyond the current 2015 season.

The 2009 world champion had to wait until early December last year before being confirmed alongside Fernando Alonso, as senior management dilly-dallied to choose between him and former team-mate Kevin Magnussen.

McLaren-Honda has experienced an extremely challenging first half to its 2015 campaign, but Button managed to pick up the renewed partnership’s maiden points with a strong drive to eighth at the Monaco Grand Prix.
