Red Bull have reportedly made another attempt to have next year's three-engine limit scrapped, but the proposal did not garner the necessary support.
Formula 1 will implement a rule in 2018 which will see the teams' current allocation of four engines for the entire season reduced to three, a move which many believe will only worsen the sport's ridiculous grid penalty conundrum.
A staunch opponent of the new rule, Red Bull's Christian Horner lobbied once again for its change at F1's latest Strategy Group meeting.
To no avail however, as Ferrari refused to support a status-quo with regard to keeping the pool of power units at its current level.
The Italian manufacture will not support the change as it has already heavily invested in the research and development of its 2018 engine, with an emphasis on reliability.
"I tried to get it changed at an earlier meeting in the year, but there was no support for it," Horner said back at the Italian Grand Prix.
"I would hope that there would now be a different outcome, with teams staring down the barrel of further penalties between now and the end of the year."
