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.

MARTIN BRUNDLE drove five timed laps in the new McLaren-Peugeot at Silverstone yesterday, the start of what he hopes will be a lasting relationship with the team, writes Derick Allsop.

The driver's link with McLaren, revealed in later editions of yesterday's The Independent, appears to confirm his emergence as the leading contender for the third place in the squad. Mika Hakkinen has signed and Alain Prost is expected to test at Estoril next week.

While McLaren wish to play down Brundle's involvement, he is due to run the MP4/9 again today and may stay on at the British Grand Prix circuit for a third day. Brundle is prepared to gamble on earning or inheriting a regular drive.
