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.It was not to be Damon Hill's victory at Silverstone last year, despite setting a new lap record, after his engine failed on the 42nd lap while leading the British Grand Prix. This year he has the challenge of Michael Schumacher in the Benetton-Ford to face. Schumacher, who finished second to Alain Prost in 1993, has already set the fastest lap at the revamped circuit when testing at Silverstone recently.
