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. :ban: Rivals of the new world champions are pushing for at least one development step during a season, in the hope of reducing Mercedes' advantage.:thumb:

Nothing new there. If you've got the advantage you want to keep it by whatever means necessary.
