The McLaren team has not resolved in its meeting this Thursday who will be the partner of the Spanish Fernando Alonso in the 2015 Formula One World Championship, if the British Jenson Button or the Danish Kevin Magnussen, who formed the pair of official drivers in the last championship .
The meeting held at its British base in Woking Mclaren was expected to resolve the issue, but a team spokesman has confirmed that no agreement has been reached, according to Autosport.
“The meeting has concluded and no decision has been made regarding the drivers for 2015,” announced the spokesperson for the team to which Fernando Alonso will join (until now at Ferrari), even though the official announcement has not yet been made.
McLaren is torn between the seniority of Jenson Button, 34, and the potential of Magnusson, 22, to partner with Fernando Alonso, whose incorporation to McLaren has been taken for granted in the world of Formula One for weeks.
Business factors related to sponsorships for the new Honda partnership hour could also play a role in McLaren’s decision.
Button recently commented that he would like to continue and that otherwise he would probably end his Formula One career because he is unwilling to drive for a team without options. EFE
