Toro Rosso's Franz Tost told reporters at the Hungaroring that, quite apart from this year's frenetic rate of development, only three changes to fundamental aerodynamic parts next year will be allowed.
"For example, front wings, rear wings. They are homologated," he said.
"You can bring out three new modifications, the floor as well, the monocoque, also only one crash structure. That means that FOTA has worked out quite a good program where we are convinced that we can reduce costs," Tost added.
Christian Horner and Stefano Domenicali, meanwhile, of the Red Bull and Ferrari teams respectively, revealed that the number of personnel perteam attending races is to be capped.
Domenicali said similar staff number restrictions would not apply to factories.
