Vitaly Petrov to stay with Renault for two more years

Vitaly Petrov, Russia's first Formula One driver, has extended his contract with the Renault team for the next two years, Petrov and his manager Oxana Kosachenko said on Wednesday. 

"I wanted to do it myself but Oxana said it first," the 26-year-old driver told a news conference in Moscow.                         

The Renault Formula One team will race as Lotus Renault GP next year under a long-term partnership with the Malaysian-owned sportscar company.
