Jenson Button told reporters of the Race of Champions draw at Wembley Sunday that he would most probably be at home in 2009 if not racing with the Brackley-based team.

With the withdrawal of Honda of the Formula 1 championship, the three-year contract extension of Button leaves him with close to nothing. The team must be bought or he will be without a wheel.

"I'm sure there would be other options to race in F1, but very limited, because it's so late in the day," said Button.

The driver has confidence that the team will find a buyer as it seems to be "a good opportunity to buy a Formula One team in Honda's position," he added. If not, he might be forced to take a year off.
