Had to laugh when I read that Renault are expecting an immediate gain in performance with their new fuel to be introduced in Spain.

Red Bull, with their refusal to use the recommended by Renault Castrol / BP fuel and oil wont have access to this. McLaren will as they followed Renaults recommendation.
(Red Bull are the only team to not use the same fuel as their engine manufacturer. Mercedes insist FI and Williams use Petronas as Ferrari do with Haas and Shell) The engines were designed and built around the use of their recommended 'liquids'. Seems like a no brainer to use them. But Red Bull know better.

Renault is expecting its Formula 1 engine to get a performance boost from next week's Spanish Grand Prix thanks to an upgrade from fuel supplier BP.
The works team and McLaren will have access to new fuel at Barcelona, but Renault's other customer Red Bull will not.
