Button to be replaced by Vandoorne in 2016

Button to be replaced by Vandoorne in 2016

Stoffel Vandoorne will be Fernando Alonso's new teammate at McLaren-Honda next year. That is the claim of the specialist Italian-language publication Italiaracing, citing sources.

The report said it will be announced by the Woking team at Spa-Francorchamps after the summer break that 23-year-old Belgian Vandoorne, the McLaren junior and GP2 series leader, will replace 35-year-old veteran Button for 2016.

Recently, Briton Button, the 2009 world champion, has been linked with a new presenting role for the popular British motoring programme Top Gear.

    Here we go again... Italians are the kings of gossip, very little credibility remains...

      I honestly dont think Button will be replaced. I mean, Boullier has basically said that they'll stick with their current drivers. I seriously doubt Button will host Top Gear. I just hope hes in a condition to drive after being gassed during that nasty robbery.

      I agree, Button won't be replaced and I highly doubt he will host Top Gear, he has kept a brave face on with the unreliable Honda engine, and should hopefully respect that and keep him on for 2016
