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.
