Red Bull has announced it will continue to use Renault engines in 2010, after the French manufacturer confirmed it would remain in the sport.

Renault has supplied engines to Red Bull since 2007 and both teams will use identical power-trains next year. Red Bull had been in talks with Mercedes - who powered Brawn to the 2009 title - but failed to agree on a deal for next year.

The news of the continued partnership had been widely expected, but Red Bull held back from making an official announcement until Renault's future in the sport was confirmed.

"2009 has been Red Bull Racing's finest season to date," said Red Bull team principal Christian Horner. "In one year, we've achieved six wins and four one-two finishes, none of which would have been possible without the excellent support and assistance we have received from our partners at Renault. We are extremely happy with the way they work with us and are looking forward to continuing our fruitful partnership with Renault in 2010."

Renault president Bernard Rey said: "We can confirm that our productive partnership with Red Bull Racing will continue in 2010. The close relationship between Renault and Red Bull Racing has grown since 2007 - and this year it resulted in six victories and second place in the 2009 constructors' championship. Together we believe that we can build on this success and contribute to Red Bull Racing's future endeavours."
