Formula One is considering introducing more powerful, louder but cheaper engines within the next few years.

Bosses have asked a working group to deliver proposals as to how to adapt the engines to meet their demands.
Its first meeting will be on January 6th, but, given the complexity of the project, a change for 2016 is unlikely.

The teams have been pushing for a relaxation of the rules for months, arguing they need a chance to catch up with constructors' championship winners Mercedes.
