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.Formula One racing will return to the USA thanks to a new custom-built track in Austin, Texas, that will host the American Grand Prix until 2021.
It will be the first Formula One race on American soil since the Indianapolis GP in 2007, following the Canadian GP's return to the sporting calendar in 2010.
Marking the continuing expansion of the Formula One schedule, 2012 will see up to 25 races take place around the world. The 2010 calendar is already up by two on 2009's 17 locations, and the addition of the Indian Grand Prix takes the total to at least 20 by 2011.
Though the exact date of the 2012 American Grand Prix is not known, Formula One season calendars are usually published in late October of the previous year.
The second and third weekends in March can be ruled out by virtue of Austin's South by SouthWest cultural festival which takes place during that period.
