Mercedes say they will block any move to relax the rule restricting in-season engine development.
This is the first season in which F1 cars are using turbo hybrid engines.
In order to keep costs under control, a complicated formula restricting development was imposed, with changes only allowed mid-season for reliability and cost-saving purposes and increasing restrictions on the parts that can be changed ahead of subsequent seasons.
Rivals of the new world champions are pushing for at least one development step during a season, in the hope of reducing Mercedes' advantage.
