One of the most iconic names in the history of Formula One, McLaren-Honda were brought to their knees over the course of the 2015 season.

A team synonymous with grand prix victories and title triumphs with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost could barely force their way into the top 10 for much of the year as the careers of Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button paled into insignificance.

Button, however, is confident McLaren will recover in 2016, urging to use Ferrari's resurgence as a template for their route back to the top.

Had events turned out differently, Button would not currently be preparing for his 17th season in F1 but rather reflecting on his first year in semi-retirement in the World Endurance Championship.

McLaren came close to ending Button's career at the end of 2014, and former driver Kevin Magnussen—who says he was promised a place alongside Alonso in 2015—has revealed the 2009 world champion was ready to walk away, claiming the British driver had a "farewell" helmet design prepared for his final race.

Dumped by McLaren and without a seat for 2016, Magnussen's time in F1 appears to have come to a premature end, but Jolyon Palmer's journey is only just beginning. The 2014 GP2 champion was chosen as Romain Grosjean's replacement at Renault, and new team-mate Pastor Maldonado has insisted Palmer is ready to race in F1.

Elsewhere, Lewis Hamilton has spoken about his relationship with fellow three-time world champion Niki Lauda, while Mercedes engine boss Andy Cowell has predicted the sound of F1 will be much improved in 2016.
