Jenson Button in "good talks" with McLaren over Formula 1 future

McLaren driver Jenson Button is tight-lipped on rumours that he is on the verge of quitting Formula 1, but says that he and the team are in "good talks".

Jenson Button has remained tight-lipped on his Formula 1 future, but has insisted that he is in "good talks" with McLaren-Honda.

Rumours have been circulating that the British driver, who is preparing for this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix, is on the verge of quitting the sport.

The 35-year-old recently claimed that he would not race for another team, indicating that if a new contract is not agreed, he will retire from Formula 1.

When asked in today's press conference about his future, Button said: "I can't give you anything else since the last race. There's no more information to give you, you'll have to wait a bit longer.

"We're in good talks - the team and myself. We're here to concentrate on this weekend, it's a big weekend for us. We're hoping for a reasonable result."

McLaren have an option to extend Button's contract by a year, but are reportedly undecided on whether to keep hold of him for the 2016 season.
