Renault denies Kubica contract only 1-year deal

Renault has denied reports Robert Kubica could be contractually free to leave the team at the end of next year.

The Enstone based team announced this week that the Pole has signed on for 2011 and 2012.

But subsequent reports indicated that, like his multi year deal signed at the end of 2009, the contract extension still includes team performance clauses that could mean the 25-year-old is able to switch to another team for 2012.

Finland’s Turun Sanomat said Renault has denied those reports.

Speaking about his new deal at Silverstone, Kubica said: "I feel good, I like the atmosphere in the team, and that’s it. It’s very simple."
