"The FIA is having active discussions with teams regarding cost control," the FIA said. "Any amendments to the technical regulations resulting from a further limit on expenditure on the chassis will be submitted to the WMSC [World Motor Sport Council] before 30 June.
"The intention is to help all teams participate in the Championship in a fair and equal manner."
