The rumor is, Button will become the number one driver of the British F1 team, McLaren, by the end of the week.

McLaren has released a video about the development of the new MP4-12C.

Many sites had previously reported that the McLaren MP4-12C would be delayed coming to US. Many believed that McLaren was having problems setting up dealers in the US. A spokesman for the company recently responded with “And if discussions so far are anything to go by we’re not going to be short of people who want to retail the brand for us in the US.”

When McLaren automotive released the 2010 MP4-12C, they added that it would be available in all sorts of colors.

McLaren’s first new car since the fabled F1 will also be available in convertible format according to the folks over at Edmunds Inside Line.
