McLaren are holding a presser tomorrow morning. They haven't actually said what it will be about, but come on...

According to an article on BBC Sport it will be to announce the driver line up.

Maybe they'll officially announce their engine for next year. Rumours say it might be a Japanese brand

Despite whatever was rumoured from that engine test, nothing has been confirmed yet. We can't be 100% sure it's even McLaren.

What odds can I get on Vandoorne\de Vries for 2017?

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

De Vries was good this year. But I think we need to wait on him to judge if he is good enough. Let's not forget he spend 3 years in Renault 2.0.

Poor Magnussen, and with him becoming 3rd driver it's also a shot in the arm for Vandoorne and De Vries

It's actually quite good for Vandoorne.

He was going to stay in GP2 anyway. If Magnussen stayed, he could have had a couple more years at McLaren. While the Button contract clearly is just a 1-year extension of his F1 career.

McLaren has confirmed it is a 2 year deal for JB. Best deal for McLaren's young ones is another Honda team for 2016, which reserves places for them. Otherwise, their young driver program really is a scam.

Spoiler:
"Scam", I wouldn't really mind be a part of it, if they would really want to fund my racing career, lol
