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.The former Benetton designer Rory Byrne will take over from John Barnard as chief designer at Ferrari next week.
Byrne, who served Benetton for more than a decade, left the team late last year and was thought to have taken early retirement. He and Ferrari's recently appointed technical director, Ross Brawn, were seen as the creative force at Benetton in recent years. Brawn also left Benetton in December and joined Ferrari early this year.
Barnard, the successful McLaren designer in the late 1980s, is understood to be interested in working with Alain Prost, who wants to buy Ligier.
