Jenson Button's Formula 1 future will become clear on Thursday when McLaren announce their driver line-up for 2015 after weeks of wrangling.

The 2009 world champion, 34, has been vying with Kevin Magnussen, 22, for the right to partner Fernando Alonso.
The team plan to make their decision public at a news conference at their Surrey factory on Thursday morning.
Spaniard Alonso, a double world champion, has returned to McLaren after five seasons with Ferrari.
McLaren chairman Ron Dennis said at the final race of 2014 that a choice between Button and Magnussen would be made on a "clinical and emotionless analysis of the options".

Button, who made his F1 debut in 2000, said at an awards ceremony on Sunday: "It's a strange situation but sometimes in life you find yourself in these situations. You just have to deal with it."
If the Englishman, who finished eighth this season, misses out on a McLaren drive for 2015, his F1 career could be over.
