Robert Kubica is enjoying life at his new team Renault, saying everything "has been just as I expected".

The Pole, who swapped BMW Sauber for the Anglo-French outfit after the German manufacturer's withdrawal from Formula One, also said that everyone at Renault is determined to improve this year after a disappointing 2009 season.

"It already feels like home and it's a nice group of people to work with," Kubica told the team's website. "I had an idea of what Renault would be like before I joined and it has been just as I expected.

"The team is very motivated and looking forward to the big challenge we have ahead of us to bring Renault back to the front of the grid. Everybody is working hard and it was nice to see such a quick response from the guys in the factory to make the changes we needed after the Valencia test in time for Jerez."

Kubica also said that Renault made good progress during last week's test in Jerez and predicted further improvements upon their return to the Spanish circuit this week.

"Although the bad weather has affected our track time, we've made a lot of progress, particularly last week in Jerez where we found some good performance," he added.

"What is important is that the car is not too sensitive and that makes it easier to find a good set-up. There are a few things still to come for the other tests that will make me feel even better in the car and which will also make it quicker, but we're definitely moving in the right direction."
