McLaren will confirm in the next few weeks that Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen will drive for them again next season. The racing director Eric Boullier told the Observer exclusively on Saturday: “We are happy with the drivers we have, to be honest. You can rate them or not rate them, I don’t care. We are happy and lucky to have the good drivers we have. If we have them next year we will be happy with that.”
In recent weeks McLaren have been linked with the three A-list drivers in F1: Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton.
Boullier said: “The truth is we have been talking to everybody. But we never hide this. We may consider Daniel Ricciardo [Red Bull]. Nico Rosberg as well is doing well. So there are a lot of drivers we may consider.
“But we are thinking about strategy. We have to think about 2016. We are seeking who, when, how, how much, because we need to know how we want to build for the future. It is usual in Formula One, especially with A-list drivers, to have discussions not for next year but for the year after.” read full article
