Jenson Button says the McLaren Formula 1 team's ongoing indecision over its 2015 driver line-up is "strange".

McLaren has twice deferred finalising its driver line-up for next season, after failing to reach agreement at board level over whether Button or his 2014 F1 team-mate Kevin Magnussen should partner Fernando Alonso when the Spaniard rejoins the Woking squad next season.

Speaking about the continuing uncertainty over his F1 future at Sunday's AUTOSPORT Awards, Button said he had no option but to simply cope with McLaren's indecision.

"It's a strange situation, but sometimes in life you find yourself in these difficult situations and you just have to deal with it," Button said.

"If it was my first year in F1 it would be a lot more difficult, but I've had an amazing career in Formula 1 - to win a world championship and achieve what I've achieved has been an amazing experience.

"A couple of months ago were very tricky, but now you just go with it.

"The last few races were really enjoyable and I've worked with some amazing people at McLaren.

"It's been a real pleasure to work with those guys."

McLaren racing director Eric Boullier also attended the awards ceremony in London and said he hoped the matter would be resolved very soon.

"There is actually no decision yet," Boullier said.

"It's a question of days now I hope, because we all want to know with whom we are going to work next year."
