McLaren have confirmed Jenson Button will race for the team again next season, ending speculation that the 2009 World Champion was heading for retirement.
Button said he was confident the Honda-powered team would overcome its “current difficulties” to achieve great successes in the future.
The second most successful team in Formula One, after Ferrari, are ninth out of 10 teams in their worst season.
Button, the last McLaren driver to win a race back in 2012, has scored just six points in 14 races in 2015 and suffered repeated penalties and retirements.
Speculation that the most experienced driver on the starting grid, who won his title with Brawn GP, was planning to call it a day, has swirled around for months.
