Kubica lands Alonso seat

Robert Kubica is convinced he can fight for next year’s Formula One world title after agreeing to join Renault from 2010.

Kubica will replace Fernando Alonso at the team after the recent confirmation of the double world champion’s switch to Ferrari.

The 24-year-old Pole, who has spent the last three and a half years at BMW Sauber, has been forced to find a new team given the German manufacturing giant are pulling out of F1 at the end of this year.
