Button Keeps Fans and Media Guessing Thursday, September 24 "There's no more information, you're going to have to wait a bit longer. The team and I are in good talks. That's it," Button said at a press conference ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, relayed by Sky Sports.

The 35-year-old had been tipped to announce his retirement ahead of events in Japan, per Jonathan McEvoy of MailOnline on Sept. 21. McEvoy claimed it "would take a massive change of heart now for Button to go back on his decision to leave Formula One."



A former driver with Williams, Benetton, Renault, BAR and Honda, Button had his greatest success driving for Brawn when he won the 2009 World Championship.

The current campaign has brought little but misery with McLaren, as the team has struggled hugely following its new engine partnership with Honda.

Button has been forced to retire six times in the 2015 season—most recently at the Singapore Grand Prix—and has finished no higher than eighth all year.

With the problems of the recent season and the fact Button is now in his late 30s, it would not be a surprise to see the Brit pursue a new career path after 15 years in the sport.
