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.

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
