McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh has confirmed Jenson Button will be with the team next season
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh has confirmed Jenson Button will be with the team next season.
Following the Belgian Grand Prix just under a fortnight ago, Button urged Whitmarsh to finally take up the option on his contract for 2012 given his desire to remain with the Woking-based marque.
Whitmarsh has now confirmed the 31-year-old will see out the final year of the three-year deal he signed at the end of 2009 following his title-winning campaign with Brawn GP.
Whitmarsh said: "Jenson will be with us next year. "There is nothing that needs to be sorted."
