Jenson Button Plans a Long Career with McLaren

Although Jenson Button signed a three year deal with McLaren last year many remained sceptical about his future with the British team, mainly due to the negative dynamic that could have been caused between him and Lewis Hamilton. Thankfully the pair seemed to gel quickly and Jenson has pledged his allegiance to the team by announcing he wants to see out his career at McLaren.

After making a strong start to the 2011 season he is obviously in high spirits sitting third in the championship behind teammate Lewis Hamilton and World Champion Sebastian Vettel. He explained “I can’t see any reason to be anywhere else. I’m driving for one of the best teams in the world. I’m very happy here – I want to enjoy my racing and I’m really enjoying my time here.”

Unlike the frustrating times he faced at Honda Jenson seems pretty pleased with his team at McLaren, he said “It’s a position that most drivers would love to be in and I’ve worked very hard for it. I might be around for three years, five years, I don’t know.” So no certainties that he will stay at McLaren although he admitted he would happily sign another contract.
