Filed under: Car Buying , Etc. , Europe , Volkswagen Every once in a while you’ll find an accidental lie on the Internet… A group of German organizations created a label applied to every new car sold in that country that grades it based on CO2 usage.

Filed under: Motorsports , Hirings/Firings/Layoffs Staff changes take place all the time in Formula 1 .
