Jenson Button has visited the McLaren headquarters in Woking as doubts continue over who the world champion will be driving for next season.
Button and his manager Richard Goddard were given a tour by McLaren chief Martin Whitmarsh, BBC Sport confirmed.
A McLaren spokesman said: "Having just landed at Heathrow, Jenson made a small detour to Woking to say a quick hello."
Button took a pay cut to drive for Brawn after Honda quit F1 last year, but is stalling over an improved offer.
If Button joined McLaren, he would partner 2008 champion Lewis Hamilton.
Only last month Ross Brawn said he was "99%" certain Button, 29, would remain with his team, but wages and the competitiveness of the car are believed to be sticking points over a new deal.
Having taken a pay cut from £10m to £3m, the world champion is said to be looking for a pay rise more substantial than the one Brawn are offering.
