Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen face an even longer wait for McLaren to make its 2015 Formula 1 line-up decision after a team board meeting failed to resolve the issue.
McLaren's 2015 line-up is still undecided after its Thursday board meeting failed to reach a firm choice between Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen.
Team spokesperson : "Today's board meeting has now concluded and no decision has been taken with regard to our 2015 driver line-up."
Both drivers appeared at a promotional event in Edinburgh on Thursday for McLaren sponsor Johnnie Walker, and Button made clear that he wanted a decision as quickly as possible.
"I'm now really comfortable, and whatever happens I will have a great year next year," he told the Press Association.
"New challenges are exciting, whether it's in Formula 1 with McLaren alongside an exciting team-mate, or whether it's elsewhere.
"So I'm good, but I just want to get it done. I want to hear the decision - as we all do - so we can all move on in whatever direction."
In the end, Button may decide that he can no longer wait for McLaren to make a decision and could choose to seek a drive elsewhere in motor sport - most likely in sportscars.
