McLaren supremo Ron Dennis seemed pretty bullish about retaining Jenson Buttonduring his interview with Suzi Perry and David Coulthard after Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix. And justifiably so.
After keeping hold of Button for 2016, Dennis has now tipped him to make history with the team.
He said: "I am extremely pleased. Jenson is the most experienced driver currently racing in Formula 1, and next season he is due to become only the third driver [after Rubens Barrichello and Michael Schumacher] in Formula 1 history to pass the milestone of 300 Grands Prix."

McLaren chairman Ron Dennis has spoken of his delight at keeping Jenson Button at the Woking-based outfit for 2016.
He also said a clause in the Englishman's two-year contract allowing him to terminate the agreement after one year became "an irrelevance" once he realised Button was "as enthusiastic and as committed and as focused as ever".
He added: "Jenson and I have been discussing his plans in private for the past few weeks, and the fact that our talks have led to today's announcement is very pleasing to both of us and will delight and motivate all at McLaren-Honda."

He added: "Over the past month or so I have done quite a lot of thinking, and it is no secret that I was at one point in two minds about my future. But I have been a McLaren driver for six seasons now [2010-2015], and in that time I have got to know Ron very well.
"He and I have had some very good chats these past few weeks, and during those chats it has become clear to me that Ron is both utterly determined and uniquely equipped to lead our team through its current difficulties to great successes in the future."
