Formula One teams appear to be at loggerheads over the future of the sport, with Force India deputy team principal Bob Fernley saying the Strategy Group "is not fit for purpose".
A raft of changes were proposed for cars in 2017 following discussions last week, including plans to make cars five to six seconds a lap faster.
There is also the potential to bring back refuelling - out of the sport since 2009 - after the meeting of the Strategy Group, formed of F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, FIA president Jean Todt and representatives from McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull, Williams and Force India.
There appears to have been little progress, though, and the latter's deputy team principal was particularly outspoken about that during Thursday's FIA-organised press conference in Monaco.
"I don't think the Strategy Group is fit for purpose," Fernley said. "We should be looking at something where we have a clear programme.
"We've had 18 months to two years of Strategy Group work with nothing coming out of it.
"We need to look at a system in a better way. In days gone by, with Bernie and (former FIA president) Max (Mosley) in charge, we knew exactly where we were.
"I don't think you should have teams making decisions on where Formula One is going. The teams should be told where Formula One is going."
Fernley formed part of a six-strong group speaking to the media and was sat in the front row along with Toto Wolff, head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport, and Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.
"Every team has its own agenda and it's going to fight its own corner," Horner said.
"The sport is governed by the FIA and promoted by FOM (Formula One Management) and it's those guys who need to get together and say: 'What do we want F1 to be?'
"Yes, we want the cars to be quicker and more aggressive to drive, but you are never going to keep everyone happy.
"Bernie and Jean need to get together and say this is what we want the product to be and how it is to be governed and then give us the engine and see if we want to enter.
"If you leave it the teams to try and agree a set of regulations, you'll never get everyone on the same bit of paper."
Any changes would need to be approved by the F1 Commission and the FIA's World Motor Sport Council before they could be implemented.
