With F1 previously planning to introduce its next set of engine regulations for 2021, those schemes could be pushed back one year for introduction in 2020. Discussions are underway for the future of the sport, with plenty of new engine manufacturers lined up to enter.
It is believed the new engine will still be a 1.6 litre V6, but with two instead of one turbo and a single KERS to replace the current, complex and quiet 'hybrid' systems.

In the report referring to the possibility of an early rule introduction, Red Bull's Dr Helmut Marko said: "We want that too. The new regulations should also stipulate that an independent engine is both competitive and affordable. The dependency we have now is not acceptable to us.
"Liberty Media is doing everything to ensure that it happens, with initial financial support as well. If we have alternatives for the engines in the future and we can choose with whom we cooperate, our exit from Formula 1 will be off the table," Marko added.
