After nearly calling quits, now Jenson Button might not be ready to retire even after the 2016 Formula 1 season.
In the past few weeks, the 35-year-old has made no secret of his deliberations about the future amid an apparent contractual dispute with McLaren.
But now with his full pay-rise promised, 2009 world champion Button has indicated he might also keep the fire burning for 2017, when a technical revolution designed to considerably speed up F1 is set to take place.
"For me, the exciting year is 2017," he admitted to Auto Express.
"There's going to be so much more mechanical grip -- from what I've seen it could be four or five seconds quicker a lap through mechanical grip and aerodynamics.
"That for me is exciting, that takes me back to 10 years ago. Also, I've just heard that next year they're going to be making the cars sound a bit better -- F1 isn't in a bad place at the moment and it's going to get better," added Button.
