Eric Boullier has insisted that McLaren will take all the time they need to decide the right driver lineup for the 2015 season.
Fernando Alonso is widely expected to be given one of the seats with the Woking-based constructor, leaving only one seat for either Jenson Button or Kevin Magnussen.
While Button has reiterated his desire to remain with McLaren next year, Boullier is adamant that the decision will not be rushed.
The Frenchman told Sky Sports News: "There is no problem, it is just taking the time to consider what is good for McLaren. Unfortunately I cannot give you any tips as I do not know. No decision has been taken yet.
"I know there are a lot of fans, Jenson's fans, Kevin's fans, other drivers' fans and hopefully some McLaren fans, but it is just about taking the right decision for the future, not only for next year but also for the next years.
"Our responsibility is to make McLaren win again and I would be happy because both drivers are terrific drivers. Jenson is obviously a world champion and we would love to carry on with both of them, but we have to decide what is the best position for the team."
McLaren finished fifth in the 2014 constructors' championship.
