Christian Horner says Red Bulls relationship with Renault is much improved and the French manufacturers return to team ownership has given them their desire and impetus back.A split between Red Bull and Renault had appeared inevitable during most of last season amid a series of fractious public fallouts, before a late U-turn resulted in the two parties realigning their relationship and continuing for 2016.Renault also ramped up their F1 involvement by buying back the Lotus team and Horner believes that commitment has helped accelerate their previously stuttering engine programme. The relationship is much improved over the winter, the Red Bull team boss told Sky Sports F1.I think genuine progress is really being made and the difference now is Renault have got their own team and theyve got that desire and impetus back.Despite Renault still spending the fewest development tokens of F1s four manufacturers over the winter, apparent improvements to their power unit have helped Red Bull make a more encouraging start to the new season, with back-to-back fourth-placed finishes.Standings: Constructors ChampionshipA big engine upgrade is expected for the Canadian GP in June and Horner added: We are seeing progress. The work they are doing with Mario Illien seems to be going well and theres a really different feel around the progress thats being made. The battle scars of recent seasons are still evident by the fact the Renault engine in Red Bulls car does not carry the French manufacturers name, instead that of new sponsor Tag Heuer,Speaking to the official F1 website, Horner confirmed: They are both the same [spec of engine]. They are identical. Whatever Renault benefit from also goes for the TAG Heuer-badged engine.Get Sky F1: Every race liveRed Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz threatened on several occasions last year to pull his two teams out of F1 as they courted alternative engine suppliers, before giving the green light to the revised Renault deal for the senior squad.And although the former world champions last won a race in August 2014, Horner added: Dietrichs will is very consistent since day one: he wants to compete - and compete for victories. He understands the situation that we have - that we have a great team and that we are fighting back. That process has started this year.

There is out-of-bounds to the right and two bunkers on either side of the landing zone, assuming players hit iron off the tee. Some might try to drive the green in dry, favorable conditions. The green is slightly elevated with a narrow opening and surrounded by five bunkers.Stroke average and rank in 2004, the last time the British Open was held at Royal Troon: 4.10 (11).No. 2, 390 yards, par 4: Players will have a decision off the tee. There are three bunkers 40 yards short of the green. Players can try to hit driver beyond the bunkers and stay short of the next series of bunkers, leaving a short approach to a green guarded in front by two bunkers on the left and two on the right.Stroke average and rank in 2004: 4.06 (14).No. 3, 377 yards, par 4: The Gyaws burn crosses the fairway at about 280 yards; it might be too much for even the long hitters to consider driver. The green features three pot bunkers and slopes from front to back.Stroke average and rank in 2004: 4.14 (10).No. 4, 555 yards, par 5: With the prevailing wind, this par 5 is easily reachable in two shots. Thats all Gary Evans needed in 2004 when he made an albatross. A driver that goes too far could find a pot bunker on the left. The hole bends to the right. Even a long iron off the tee should leave players a shot to go for the green in firm conditions. Anyone making par will feel as though he gave a shot to the field.Stroke average and rank in 2004: 4.75 (17).No. 5, 209 yards, par 3: The green drops off severely to the right, and deep bunkers protect the front and left side of the green. One bunker is at the front right of the green. The highest point of the course makes wind a big factor in club selection.Stroke average and rank in 2004: 3.16 (8).No. 6, 601 yards, par 5: Royal Troon used to have the longest and shortest holes on the Open rotation until the 14th at St. Andrews was extended to 618 yards. Accurate tee shots that carry bunkers about 280 yards out still make it reachable with firm fairways and the prevailing wind. The long, narrow green has one bunker to the left.Stroke average and rank in 2004: 5.00 (15).No. 7, 401 yards, par 4: This leaves the coastline with an elevated tee shot from the top of dunes. Bunkers to the left and right make the fairway tight. Two more bunkers about 300 yards off the tee probably will make a long iron the popular tee shot. The well-bunkered green climbs steeply into the surrounding dunes.Stroke average and rank in 2004: 3.97 (16).No. 8, 123 yards, par 3: Willie Park Jr. once wrote of the pitching surface skimmed down to the size of a postage stamp, and the name stuck. The Postage Stamp is arguably the most famous par 3 on the Open rota. The green is set in the side of a large dune and is surrounded by five bunkers. German amateur Herman Tissies took 15 in 1950. More notable was Gene Sarazen making a hole-in-one at age 71 in 1973.Stroke average and rank in 2004: 3.09 (13).No. 9, 422 yards, par 4: The final outward hole is the toughest on the front nine.dddddddddddd A bunker is cut into the left side of the fairway at about 275 yards, and the approach must be perfect to a small, well-contoured green. Gorse bushes line both sides of the fairway.Stroke average and rank in 2004: 4.23 (5).No. 10, 451 yards, par 4: The links turns back into the wind, and this is a challenging start. There are no bunkers on the hole, but the tee shot is over a hill to a narrow fairway, and the elevated green drops away sharply to the right.Stroke average and ranking in 2004: 4.30 (3).No. 11, 482 yards, par 4: Arnold Palmer once called this the most dangerous hole I have ever seen. Jack Nicklaus made a 10 in his Open debut in 1962. A 4-foot high stone wall runs down the right side and is out-of-bounds with the railway on the other side. Gorse bushes are on the left. One bunker is to the left of the green.Stroke average and ranking in 2004: 4.41 (1).No. 12, 430 yards, par 4: The prevailing wind is straight into this dogleg right with a small green on a plateau. No bunkers threaten the tee shot, only gorse. There are bunkers on both sides of the two-tiered green.Stroke average and ranking in 2004: 4.31 (2).No. 13, 473 yards, par 4: This is where Royal Troons tough finish begins. It is the second hole without a bunker, but with the wind in the players face, it requires two long and accurate shots to reach the elevated green.Stroke average and ranking in 2004: 4.15 (9).No. 14, 173 yards, par 3: Trajectory will be critical because of the wind. The green is protected in the front by deep bunkers. The safe target is a wide section at the back of the green.Stroke average and ranking in 2004: 3.10 (12).No. 15, 499 yards, par 4: The tee has been extended 16 yards, making this the longest par 4 on the course. The drive is slightly blind to a plateau fairway, which opens up the second shot to a green nestling in a hollow. Three bunkers are short of the green, but none around it.Stroke average and ranking in 2004: 4.28 (4).No. 16, 554 yards, par 5: This hole can play longer into the wind because of the Gyaws burn crossing the fairway at about 280 yards. Tiger Woods hit the green in two in 1997 with a 3-iron off the tee and a driver off the deck. Laying up to the left allows for a better angle into a green surrounded by five bunkers.Stroke average and ranking in 2004: 4.74 (18).No. 17, 220 yards, par 3: The prevailing wind comes in from the left, which might make it difficult to hold a green that drops away on both sides. Four bunkers guard the green. Justin Leonard made a 35-foot birdie putt that clinched the claret jug in 1997.Stroke average and ranking in 2004: 3.22 (6).No. 18, 458 yards, par 4: Three bunkers on the left and one on the right make the fairway look tiny. All of them are in range off the tee. Five more bunkers guard the green, and the out-of-bounds path in front of the clubhouse is very close to the back of the green.Stroke average and ranking in 2004: 4.20 (7). ' ' '
