Toro Rosso are planning to have their team working 24/7 in the weeks leading up to the first pre-season test, team principal Franz Tost has said.
Following an overhaul of F1 regulations, more aggressive-looking cars with wider front and rear wings and bigger tyres will be introduced this year.
The team want to give designers as much time as possible but know that the schedule will be very tight.
"It becomes tricky when the aerodynamic department do not want to release the drawings and they just want to gain another day," Tost said.
"It becomes always very tight but it's a performance gain. It's every year the same story, nothing changes.
"As long as you can stay in the windtunnel and do research and development, there's more performance you can come up with.
"This is the difference with a small team, once we set up the deadline we must say 'stop now', because otherwise we don't drive.
"We need to have the decision about the drawing release on a certain date and then they know it's absolutely latest, it's not possible any more because we're on the limit."
