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.The Indian Grand Prix is likely to be dropped from next year’s Formula One calendar according to the sport’s chief executive officer, Bernie Ecclestone.
“Is India going to happen next year? Probably not,” he said at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Asked about the reason for his doubts, Ecclestone added: “Very political.” However, the Indian motor sport federation president, Vicky Chandhok, said Ecclestone and organisers, the Jaypee Group, were trying to find a new date.
Ecclestone, who draws up the calendar, is trying to shuffle a potential 22 grands prix into a schedule which the teams would prefer not to extend beyond 20 races. That is because of mooted new races next year in Austria, the United States and Russia, on top of this year’s 19-race calendar.
