Hamilton made a triumphant return to the McLaren Technology Centre at Woking on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after flying in from Brazil where he clinched the title in the final grand prix of the season.

"As always, the roundabout doesn't stop with the World Championship," said Dennis. "We are really well advanced in our new car and we will announce the car in the latter part of January."

Martin Whitmarsh, McLaren's Formula One CEO, pledged to give Hamilton the tools to maintain his position as number one.

"We owe it to him to build the best racing car in the world next year," he added.

"This is always a decisive period. We know the progress we are making but we don't actually know the progress our competitors are making.

"With the new rules, we are working hard. We are testing and there'll be lots of sand-bagging and sweeping going on, but we are looking forward to the first race of next year when we start finding out."
