Renault has reportedly signed Jerome d'Ambrosio and Ho-Pin Tung as joint reserve drivers for the 2010 season.

Both d'Ambrosio, a 24-year-old Belgian, and the Dutch born Chinese Tung, who is 27, are contracted to the Genii Capital-linked Gravity Sport management company, headed by new Renault team principal Eric Boullier .

The Sunday newspaper Journal du Dimanche also said Renault's 2010 car, the R30, will be painted in the traditional yellow and black colours of the French carmaker.

A race teammate for Robert Kubica is also due to be appointed shortly, and it is likely to be the Russian pay-driver Vitaly Petrov .
