McLaren boss Martin Whitmarsh has said that both Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton will continue to fight for the Formula 1 drivers' title.
Hamilton is second in the current standings, 37 points behind Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
Meanwhile, Button is sixth, 78 points off the pace.
Whitmarsh told BBC Sport: "At the moment, the dynamics are right within the team and it will be some time before we change our approach."
Button said: "I'm out to race. I think Lewis doesn't need my help.
"As always, I go out to win. I'm not going to go out and pedal round and sit behind my teammate."
The F1 season continues next weekend with the Singapore Grand Prix.
