Formula One Head of Sport
Ross Brawn has revealed that the division will react if the rules for 2019 do not go down well.
He revealed the 2021 rules will be held back if all does not go to plan.
The fresh set of rules are expected to allow for more overtaking but many are concerned that teams will have made up for the lost downforce by the start of the season.
Brawn revealed what would happen if it does not go to plan.
“You have to emphasize that it is a philosophy and a culture - not a one-time solution," said Brawn to formula1.com.
"If we do not get everything we want to achieve with the changes, then we'll learn from that and move on to the next phase."
Brawn did, however, admit they’re slightly in the dark until the cars drive.
"Although we do not know the solutions until the cars drive, but according to forecasts, we will achieve 20 per cent improvement," said the Briton
"We're about a quarter of what we think is possible.
"It's not a one-time thing you do and never touch again." Added Brawn.
