Having joined the Woking based organization at the end of 2009, the year of his first and only title to date in F1, Button initially signed a 3-year deal with McLaren. Asked about whether he plans to retire from McLaren when his contract expires or seek for an extension, the 31-year old insisted he has no such plans (retirement that is) and that he can't imagine how his F1 life would be driving for some other team.
“I've a few years that I still want to race in F1,” said Button, according to crash.net, citing the Reuters news agency. “I'm sure it will come to a point with me where I'll think, 'right, I don't want to do anymore, I want to do something else' – [but] that point isn't yet, and I can't even imagine it happening yet. I'll be here for a couple more years.”
“I can't imagine going somewhere else in F1 after McLaren – I'm really happy here – [although] when I was younger, at the start of my years in F1, I never thought I'd drive for McLaren.”
Part of Great Britain's “dream team” - as McLaren has been nicknamed by many before the 2010 F1 campaign - Button praised his squad's spirit and teamwork, which makes him feel like he's a part of something.
“They really involve you in everything they do. For me, that is great. I love being involved in what is happening within a team. It's important to me that I'm not just doing the driving,” he added.
