Robert Kubica is enjoying life at his new team Renault, saying everything "has been just as I expected".
The Pole swapped BMW for the French squad at the end of this year and says everyone is determined to help the team to move back up the grid this year.
"It already feels like home and it's a nice group of people to work with," he is quoted on the Renault 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."
Renault made good progress during last week's test in Jerez, and Kubica predicts there will be further improvements 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 said.
"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."
