With the premise that the F1 field will stay more competitive the longer the rules stay the same – since every team will be able to tune and retune to near perfection over time – Toto Wolff of the Mercedes Benz F1 racing team doesn’t want to see the rules change again.

April 19 (Reuters) – Formula One should shelve plans for major rule changes in 2017 because the sport is in an ‘ideal situation’ already with faster cars and more competitive races, according to Mercedes motorsport head Toto Wolff.

The Austrian, whose team have dominated since the 1.6 litre V6 turbo hybrid power units were introduced in 2014, said there was an argument for doing nothing after three exciting races this season.

Formula One teams have until the end of April to agree 2017 rule changes by majority vote and meetings are scheduled in the coming days as the sport seeks to make cars faster and more spectacular. Continue Reading

Volkswagen and the federal government have made a deal that will see Volkswagen pay more than $10 billion because of the emissions fraud committed by the car manufacturer discovered last year. With the money being used to buyback customers’ cars, we recommend getting a Mercedes Benz and find yourself worrying much less about exhaust and fuel issues.

Volkswagen has struck a deal with the US government over the diesel-emissions-cheating scandal that has plagued the car maker.

Under the terms of the agreement, Volkswagen would include ‘substantial compensation’ to owners of VW’s diesel vehicles, and would establish an environmental compensation fund.

U.S. Judge Charles Breyer said the settlement is expected to include a buyback offer for nearly 500,000 2.0-liter vehicles and a possible fix if regulators agree on it. The settlement will include an environmental remediation fund and additional compensation to owners to sell back or have vehicles fixed. Continue Reading
