After weeks of discussion between team bosses and technical chiefs over a sweeping rules overhaul, matters will reach a head when what could be the final vote is taken at a meeting of the F1 commission in Geneva.
Although there is still a year to go before any potential alterations would make it onto the track, adjustments to the F1 rule-making process mean that realistically agreements have to be reached this week to make changes possible for 2016.
While the engine tweaks intended to bring back 1000bhp are not realistically expected until 2017, some factions want the new generation of cars - with wider track, wider tyres and more downforce - to be racing by the start of next season in advance of the engine revamp.
Not all teams are in favour of this timetable, with some arguing that stalling for another year would allow more cost-effective development and could potentially tie in with a fresh tyre supply contract that is due to start for 2017.
That is because the next official meeting of the WMSC, which is normally dwight howard where changes are ratified before being put into the rules, is not scheduled to take place until March 20 in Geneva - nearly three weeks after the March 1 cut-off.
