Jenson Button is poised to commit his long-term future to Brawn GP following his sensational start to the new Formula One season.

Five wins from six Grand Prix will have seen Button's stock soar, and now the team are determined to pin him down to a new contract.

After Honda's demise, Button was forced to tear up the u00a38 million-a-year contract he had with the Japanese manufacturer.

It led to Button signing a one-year deal with Brawn, resurrected from Honda's ashes, albeit he was forced to take a u00a35million cut.

The 29-year-old has since rewarded them handsomely by winning in Australia, Malaysia, Bahrain, Barcelona, and on Sunday in Monaco to lead the drivers' standings by 16 points.

Brawn GP chief executive Nick Fry feels such scintillating form will be enough to convince Button to stay, and ensure he is not tempted elsewhere.

"Jenson's been with us a long time, and we've had failures and we've had successes," confirmed Fry.

"My objective, and our objective, is to have him for the rest of his career, and nothing's changed on that front.
"It's mutual that he would like to stay with the team, and after five race wins, we should be able to get something together," Fry added.
