What should Button do in 2017?
With Stoffel Vandoorne replacing Jenson Button in McLaren's 2017 Formula 1 driver line-up, speculation has already started over what the 2009 world champion could do next season. The Autosport team has a few ideas of its own...
Jenson Button will not be a full-time Formula 1 driver in 2017. That much is clear, though he will remain on the McLaren books as a reserve driver and will take on more ambassadorial duties for the team and its engine supplier Honda.
Could he do more, though? Or should he do less?
At 36, with a world title and 15 grand prix victories on his CV, Button has nothing left to prove in F1.
