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.

The owners of the HRT Formula One team hope to sell the Spain-based outfit to new investors in the coming weeks. HRT's current owners, the investment group Thesan Capital, revealed they are looking to relinquish control just 16 months after buying the majority stake in the team from Jose Ramon Carabante.

The team entered Formula One at the start of 2010 but remain without a points finish to their name approaching the end of their third season in the sport.

A statement on HRT's website read: "The current owners of HRT Formula 1 Team would like to confirm they are currently in talks with a number of groups interested in buying the team. HRT Formula 1 Team's current management hopes to conclude the sale in the upcoming weeks and, with it, enable the team to continue progressing."
