Yeah, but RB app.put the concept to the extreme this year. And McLaren wants it banned. The concept... They lobby for 2019 .. maybe they already lobbied for 2018...or maybe they still will protest.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

McLaren don't get that sort of PU access.
No-one outside of Woking and Viry knows that for certain.
Well the fact McLaren were not given access to the Merc PU when they used their motors (see Ron Dennis complaining customers don't get the same benefits) and even the Honda's internal components weren't completely divulged to them, unless Renault are surprisingly open and say "oh hey, here are the plans and intricate running details of our new PU you'll require to test with your new fuel partner", they unlikely have unrestricted access..
Right, but Mclaren were a customer team only for Mercedes after they split and Merc started to focus on their own team. Honda...well it seems that relationship really wasn't very healthy at all. But Mclaren have a works-level deal with Renault, so perhaps they do get more access to the PU than we think. Especially if they're helping with the ERS etc...

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Renault confirmed that Mclaren is just a costumer and will not have input on the development of the engine, as I already posted, here it is the link to the article (in spanish sorry) http://www.marca.com/motor/formula1/opi ... b45a2.html

Did Williams used Petrobras fuel in 2016 since they where they sponsors?
No. McLaren will be using BP/Castrol in 2018, but Petrobras will sponsor them. It will probably be rebadged. Petrobras will be developing their own fuel for 2019.
I'm asking this,because I didn't notice that any of the (engine manufactures) teams was using they fuel,do they have any experience with modern PU anyway?
