Speculation over who will race for McLaren next year has been rife for months, with Fernando Alonso reportedly set to return for a second spell with the Brackley-based team.

Jenson Button hinted that his future may lie elsewhere, with talk that he could call time on his F1 career and team-mate Kevin Magnussen has not been on the podium since the first race of the season in Australia.

McLaren will wait until next month before they confirm which duo will form their line-up next season.

"Guys, we know you're awaiting news on our driver line-up. We'll announce after Dec 1 – you'll hear it here first. All eyes now on Abu Dhabi," McLaren posted via their official Twitter account on Tuesday.

McLaren are fifth in the constructors' standings ahead of the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend.
