Kubica sticks with Renault

Robert Kubica will race for Renault in 2010, his manager has confirmed.

The Pole's future with Renault had been uncertain following the French manufacturer's decision to sell a majority share in the team to Genii Capital investment company, which is spearheaded by businessman Gerard Lopez.

Following Genii's acquisition of the team, Kubica's manager, Daniel Morelli, said that the driver needs 'more information' before he committed himself to the team, a position that has now been resolved.

"We are going in the right direction," Morelli told the BBC.

"There were no doubts, really, but it was very important we understood who were in the key roles in the team and of course also the budget - it is fundamental you have that for the updates to the car," he added.

Morelli denied that the delay in the 25-year-old's signing was related to reported requests for an increased salary.

"It is totally untrue that we were asking for more money," said Morelli.

"It is not in our interests to take advantage. We want the money for the team.

"Robert wants a performing car. It's useless if the driver gets more money if you have a weak car and lose (performance) bonuses. It's better to score points and make podiums than to earn more money."

Kubica's team-mate at the Enstone-based outfit has yet to be confirmed.
