German car manufacturer Porsche has confirmed its LMP1 driver line-up for the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship season.

Porsche has opted to remain with all six of its current full-season drivers for next year's program.

The team will run an all-new Porsche 919 Hybrid.

It is therefore now official that McLaren Formula 1 driver Jenson Button will not be part of the Porsche squadron in 2015.

Porsche will rely on Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas, Neel Jani, Brendon Hartley, Marc Lieb and Mark Webber next year.

No word has been given on the potential of a third car for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which is known to be under consideration, and one of the primary reasons for Porsche recently testing the majority of its factory GT drivers in its LMP1 Hybrid 919 car.
