The 29-year-old is adamant he wants to stay with the team that has helped him achieve his lifetime ambition, but there are apparently doubts. It remains a question of money with Button understood to be looking to return to the £8million-a-year salary he previously enjoyed with Honda before taking a £5million pay cut for this season to drive for Brawn.

"I want to be here next year and I want to be with a team that can challenge for victories like this season," remarked Button. "Brawn can do that. These guys are not one-hit wonders. We've some sensationally talented people in our team."

He added: "We might not be big like other teams, but that will be a benefit to us next season as the teams have to get smaller and we have the right amount of people for next year.

"We are in a great position, we have worked on this year's car as much as possible, but we have also worked on next year's car. This isn't it for Brawn GP.

"But I haven't talked to the team seriously about anything for next year. We wanted to get this out of the way.

"I will sit down and discuss it when I've got over my hangover!"

Button continued: "It's great to be sat here as world champion and I personally think I thoroughly deserve it.

"I've been the best over 16 races, and that's what world titles are all about.

"I am it. I am a world champion, and I'm going to keep saying it, especially after a race that, for me, was the best I've driven in my life."
