Renault boss Cyril Abiteboul thinks that standarnisation on power units could benefit the FIA when trying to take care of the regulations.
At the moment, Abiteboul believes that it's possible for manufacturers to find a way around the current fules.
Ferrari's hybrid system has been the centre of much controversy this season, which was deemed as legal by the FIA - but it still receives plenty of attention from the Italian's rivals.
"I don't want to create a debate here, but I think we need to think how we can help the FIA, regarding the enforceability of the regulations," Renault's team boss told Motorsport.com.
"I really believe that the complexity of the engine is such that I would not want to have myself to police it. So, I think we need to figure that out.

"I really believe that some elements of standardisation are not just useful but absolutely necessary if we want to retain some confidence between all the participants."
Abiteboul has said that his team have already pitched in with some ideas which could help with dealing with the engine legality.
"I think that, frankly, if we wanted to cheat on the current engine, we would know how to do it, and that's an issue.
"We are a very large corporation and we would never do such a thing like that, we can't afford the reputational risk.
"I'm not saying that anyone is cheating, but I think it'd be good to get rid of all the speculation, by doing some local and targeted standardisation, and we've put forward some proposals in relation to that."
