Jenson Button pleads to stay at McLaren

Jenson Button begs McLaren to retain him as one of their drivers for next season ahead of the announcement of their 2015 lineup.

Jenson Button has begged McLaren to keep him as one of their drivers for next season.

The Woking-based constructor are poised to unveil their 2015 drivers on Monday and, with Fernando Alonso widely thought to be filling one of the seats, it would likely leave Button up against rookie Kevin Magnussen for the other position.

While the 2009 world champion's contract with McLaren is up, the 34-year-old hopes to be kept on.

He is quoted by the Daily Star as saying: "I feel that McLaren is like my family. I don't want to leave.

"This season I know I have done a great job and I don't believe I could have done any better.

"I'd love to be here in the future because it is going to be a great place to be."

Button finished eighth in the drivers' championship during the 2014 season.
