Kevin Magnussen has revealed that Renault have asked him for a couple more weeks on their option for his services which ended on 1 October.
F1i reports that Magnussen has agreed, "Renault asked if their option on me could be extended. I have accepted."
Renault have yet to announce their driver line-up for next year and are now expected to do so by mid-October.
A number of drivers are being considered by the French outfit, including Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer who currently drive for the team.
It is believed that Sergio Perez, who was a candidate for a seat, and his backers had talks with the team which have delayed aan announcement.
With Perez now confirmed for another year at Force India, Renault are expected to announce their 2017 driver line-up soon.
