Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ferrari have cast doubt on the prospects of a Rome Grand Prix by saying Italy, whose Monza circuit is one of Formula One's great venues, can only ever host one race a year.
"Our position is very clear and leaves no room for interpretation," team boss Stefano Domenicali told the ferrari.com website.
"Our sport is increasingly expanding the number of countries hosting a grand prix and all the teams are in agreement about that.
"Therefore it is inevitable that it will no longer be possible to have two races in the same nation. It's not the job of the teams who choose where a grand prix is held, that's up to the commercial rights holder."
Spain is currently the only nation with two races, one in Barcelona and the other - the European Grand Prix - in Valencia.
The calender is expanding to a record 20 races in 2011 with India making its debut after South Korea held its first race this year.
A US GP in Austin is scheduled for 2012 with Russia arriving in 2014 with a race in Winter Olympic venue Sochi.
Rome wants a race through the streets of the EUR district from 2012 or 2013 and has signed a letter of intent with commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone.
However there is opposition from some local residents.
