Despite the freeze on engine development, Renault were granted permission to re-tune their power-plants to bring them on par with their rivals.
Further calls for parity in performance emerged before the Italian grand prix, when it was revealed that many teams feel Mercedes Benz have an advantage.
Today, the WMSC announced that it would equalise engine performance by limiting those who appear to have a power advantage.
'Following suggestions that there is a differential between the performance of engines used in Formula 1, the World Motor Sport Council has decided that should this be the case, and should the teams wish to eliminate this performance differential, they may be allowed to do so by reducing the performance of the more powerful engines,' the FIA said in a statement.
'However, no engine upgrades will be allowed.'
