Fry indicates Button will stay put
by Essential Sports
Honda CEO Nick Fry has indicated that the team will offer Jenson Button a new contract despite his bad season.
Button claimed points in only one race this season, when he came in sixth in the Spanish Grand Prix, leading to speculation about his future.Fry says the team will keep faith with the Briton for the 2009 season.
He said: "Jenson is an immensely talented driver.
"I am absolutely convinced that if we, at Honda, give him the car that can do the job he can compete with Lewis."
Fry added: "We are not hurrying to choose our drivers for next year. We can afford to wait until possibly just before Christmas.
"It is Formula One, everyone is under pressure to retain their position.
"The drivers are no different from any other person in the team. They've got to deliver the results and the best people will get the race seats."
