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.Michael Schumacher, the current Formula One championship leader, set the fastest time during testing at the Barcelona race track yesterday. The Benetton-Renault driver, who won the Spanish Grand Prix at the track on Sunday, was in dominant form as he recorded the quickest time of 1min 22.51sec in the morning session.
Williams' official test driver, the Frenchman, Jean-Christophe Boullion, was second fastest after a trouble-free run with a time of 1:23.34. Mika Hkkinen of Finland came in third, struggling to match the pace of the faster cars in his ill-sounding McLaren-Mercedes. His time of 1:24.61 edged out another Frenchman, Olivier Panis, who recorded 1:25.31 in his Ligier.
Karl Wendlinger of Austria, who has had a disappointing start to the 1995 season, was off the pace in his Sauber-Ford with a time of 1:27.45. There is still some speculation that he will be dropped by the Swiss team before the Monaco Grand Prix on 28 May.
