'Kubica-Renault deal expected on Wednesday'

The French media is reporting on Tuesday that Robert Kubica will be making the switch to the Renault team for 2010. The Pole, who tested for the Enstone outfit in 2005, is yet to race for any team other than BMW in Formula One although the Bavarian manufacturer will be pulling out of the sport at the end of the season.         

With BMW Sauber having been purchased by Swiss investments firm Qadbak, there are no guarantees of the outfit being on next year's grid as approval by all other teams must be received in order to grant a 14th entry.

Kubica's move to Renault is tipped by most F1 insiders, however, with leading French newspaper Le Figaro now reporting that the deal is already done and will be made public on Wednesday of this week. The publication has described the announcement as 'clearance' as Kubica prepares to join the country's legendary 'diamond' marque.
