JENSON BUTTON’S F1 future was still cloudy yesterday despite reports of good talks with McLaren.
The 2009 world champion was rumoured to be ready to announce his retirement — perhaps at this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix.
But, speaking ahead of Suzuka, Button gave little away about his plans.
McLaren have an option on the Briton for next season, but that clause expires at the end of September. Kevin Magnussen and Stoffel Vandoorne, members of McLaren’s young driver academy, are waiting in the wings.
“You’re going to have to wait for a little while … but we’re in good talks, the team and myself,” Button said.
Button has scored only six points in 13 races, with McLaren’s renewed Honda relationship having descended into farce. A gearbox failure forced him to retire from the race in Singapore last weekend.
“There are so many possibilities about what can happen next year, so many possibilities,” said Button.
