Force India owner Vijay Mallya says his team are "completely committed" to the Resource Restriction Agreement, saying it's a "must-have" for F1.
Discussions on a new RRA, with cost-cutting measures once again the major talking point, have intensified in recent weeks as June 30 is the cut-off point before the World Motor Sport Council vote takes place.
Mallya says he is in favour of resource restriction as it will help to secure the sport's long-term future.
"I think that the RRA is something that everybody agrees to, in principal," he told the official Formula One website.
"Even when FOTA was together - and active - all the teams agreed with the concept of resource restriction. In fact I would go one step further and say that the RRA was one of the reasons why FOTA was created. And then one by one, teams went in their own directions so we never had the chance to agree.
"The concept of the RRA is a must-have if Formula One is to survive in the long term. It also must provide a level playing field. Look at the amount of excitement this season. We have had seven winners and only one repeat victor, which is fantastic. The big four teams are dropping down and the midfield teams are getting on the podium. For fans across the world this is fantastic compared to a predictable season where one team or one driver is always winning.
