Jenson Button waited for news about his Formula One future on Thursday as the McLaren board met to discuss their 2015 driver lineup and decide who will partner Spaniard Fernando Alonso.
While the Spaniard has yet to be confirmed, despite leaving Ferrari, his return to Woking is taken for granted within the sport.
That leaves 34-year-old Button and current team mate Kevin Magnussen scrapping for the second seat, with the 22-year-old Danish rookie seen by some as offering more potential than the 2009 world champion.
Asked at a sponsor event in Edinburgh whether he expected to be retained, Button smiled: "That's a question I still can't answer," he replied.
"I don't know when we will find out. I think for all of our sakes it's better sooner rather than later," he told Sky Sports television.
"I'm here with Kevin today as well, we spent the last couple of days together...we've had some interesting conversations," added the Briton.
McLaren group head Ron Dennis said after the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that the board would decide. There was no indication from the team when any announcement would be made.
