Brawn positive on Button
FORMULA ONE world champion Jenson Button is 99 per cent certain to stay with the Brawn team next season, team principal and owner Ross Brawn has said after reports linking the Briton with rivals McLaren.
"Jenson is obviously a great driver and for those teams without their full complement of drivers, he's got to be a target," Brawn said. "We want Jenson to stay in the team and I think we'll find a solution.
"Jenson has a contract with us but of course that contract is not the salary of a world champion, not the salary of a team that's now in a much stronger position than it was 10 months ago.
"We are working with Jenson to find a balance between what we can afford and what he feels is fair."
Recent media reports had suggested Button could team up with 2008 world champion and compatriot Lewis Hamilton at McLaren.
