Schumacher's brotherly love?
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.There was probably a touch of whimsy in a reflection on the weekend's sport which came on breakfast television. Even so, it was stunningly romantic.
Maybe Michael Schumacher had eased back, perhaps subliminally, as his brother, Ralf, took the flag at the Canadian Grand Prix. There were two possible motives: brotherly love and a desire to preserve an element of intrigue in the world drivers' title race now that David Coulthard's McLaren is turning into an instrument of mental torture.
Both ideas are non-starters. They are built on the false premise that Michael has something other than ice running through his veins.
