Formula One world champion Jenson Button has joined McLaren on a multi-year deal, the team said in a statement today.
The 29-year-old, who won his title with Brawn GP, will partner compatriot Lewis Hamilton next season in all-British line-up of champions.
It will be the first time that a team has both the champion and his immediate predecessor as its drivers.
The two Britons are said to get along well and have promised to help each other develop a competitive car.
