BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Jolyon Palmer says he has been reassured he will not lose his Renault drive in 2017 despite speculation of a return for Robert Kubica.
Kubica is set to test for Renault at the post-Hungarian Grand Prix test at the Hungaroring, following two private outings with the team this year. The Polish driver had not driven an F1 car since 2011's first pre-season test, which took place just before he nearly lost his right arm in a horrific rally crash.
Renault has been impressed with Kubica's outings so far and there has been suggestions in the media he will return for 2018.
