The FIA will meet with F1 teams at the Hungaroring in two weeks to discuss recent rear view mirror designs and their impact on safety, with many drivers recently complaining of limited visibility.
The governing body has been attentive to teams' integration of the mirrors on the Halo cockpit safety device.
But in light of an incident that took place in qualifying at the recent Austrian Grand Prix between Carlos Sainz and Sebastian Vettel, the FIA's focus is now on visibility and the safety it entails.
Motorsport.com has reported that the FIA wrote to the teams earlier this week informing everyone that new rules would be implemented from Singapore.
According to FIA delegate Nikolas Tombazis, F1's head of technical matters for single-seaters, this year's sidepods and rear wings designs are, in some cases, obstructing drivers' vision at the rear, an encumbrance that also isn't helped by the high degree of rake run by F1's 2018 cars.
Any new mandatory positioning of F1's mirrors would likely also force the FIA to review how it considers mirror supports as structures bringing aerodynamic effects.
Earlier this season, at the Spanish Grand Prix, Ferrari was asked to modify its Halo mounted mirrors supports following the FIA's belief that the mirrors provided too much aerodynamic gain.
The Scuderia duly complied, changing its mirror structure for the following race in Monaco.
