BUTTON BOWS OUT: BUT WILL HE BE BACK IN 2018
Jenson Button's new McLaren deal is a canny one. While it would have been great for fans to see him race elsewhere, the World Endurance Championship, for example staying at McLaren-Honda could give him a lucrative life well beyond the cockpit, and provide the chance to be part of a team that should be successful in the years to come. But will we see him race in F1 beyond 2016? The door has been left open, but it’s hard to see it happening. The likelihood of Stoffel Vandoorne not becoming a very worthy grand prix driver is low, which means it could be down to Fernando Alonso.
