Report: Jenson Button to join new Renault team

Jenson Button could join the new Renault team next season, according to reports.

The McLaren driver has hinted at a possible departure and has also been linked with a move away from Formula 1.

Renault signalled their intentions to buy struggling team Lotus earlier today and could offer Button a way out of McLaren.

Button has picked up just six Championship points this season, with McLaren sitting ninth in the constructors' championship table.
