Honda and McLaren will team up again next season and ahead of this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, Honda's home circuit, rumours have circulated that there could be a driver announcement.

Arai, however, has said that nothing is planned, leaving Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen in limbo.

"We are constantly talking about which drivers we would like to see and whilst McLaren is here in Japan it is only natural that we organise some meetings with McLaren," Arai told Sky Sports.

"But I do not think we will be discussing the topic of drivers given that nothing is decided."

Button recently hinted that he is likely to stay with the team in 2015, while McLaren Sporting Director Eric Boullier added the outfit is getting closer to making a decision.
