Speaking to the BBC, McLaren CEO Ron Dennis played down the importance of securing Button's future saying: "you just disenchant a driver."

Stoffel Vandoorne, who scored McLaren's first points of 2016 when he stood in for the injured Fernando Alonso at the Bahrain Grand Prix in April, is expected to take Button's place should the Brit leave the team.
