Newly crowned Formula One world champion Jenson Button has sealed his move to McLaren, said the Woking-based team in a statement on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old signed a multi-year deal with McLaren and joined fellow British Lewis Hamilton for next season's race.
According to previous day's report on Guardian, the contract covers three years and is worth 6 million pounds (about 10.10 million U.S. dollars) a year.
If the details are right, Button could double his current salary.
His previous team Brawn GP, which wished to keep the driver but refused to give him a raise on salary, was taken over by German carmaker Mercedes on Monday.
