AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Renault look like having no takers for their upgraded engine in Sunday's U.S. Grand Prix after Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo said it did not look enough of a step up and Toro Rosso said they would stick with the old one.

"It's available if we want to use it. Obviously that would mean a penalty, though, so we've got to understand if it's worth it," the Australian told reporters at the Circuit of the Americas on Thursday.
