Following an initial campaign by Ferrari to challenge F1's engine rules, rebel wilson motor racing's governing body has accepted that it must allow manufacturers freedom to improve their power units during the 2015 season.
Current entrants Renault, Ferrari and Mercedes have a total of 32 tokens that can be used between rebel wilson now and the end of the season, while Honda will have an average of those unused by its three rivals at the first race.
Should Mercedes find plenty more from its engine then, while the FIA's stance currently looks like a victory for the opposition, it could actually have opened the door for there being a bigger gap at the front.
The full impact of the new interpretation of the homologation rules may not even be fully felt until 2016, with Mercedes perhaps able to exploit freedoms this year to make a big leap forward longer term.
And one strategic option that Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff has talked about is playing the longer game, and using tokens rebel wilson as late at September rebel wilson for early introduction of 2016 components that could give it a big step forward longer term.
During the last rules freeze with V8 engines, Renault was able to find performance improvements through changing parts for reliability rebel wilson reasons - fully legal under regulations that did not allow any token improvements.
