Vandoorne to race for McLaren, Button takes sabbatical
Stoffel Vandoorne will replace Jenson Button at McLaren next year, as the British driver takes a sabbatical from racing. Button, who made his F1 debut in 2000, will take on a new role at McLaren, the British driver announced after qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix. McLaren said 2009 world champion Button will stay on at the team in an "innovative new two-year role, focusing on team and car development."

Vandoorne, last year's GP2 champion, will race alongside Fernando Alonso in 2017. More to follow
