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.

With only seven races to go in a racing season that finishes on November 14, Formula One departs European climes after the Italian GP at Monza on September 12 and commences a three-stop tour of Asia starting at Singapore's Marina Bay on September 26.

After the most recent GP in Belgium, defending champion Jenson Button had enough previous points to hold fourth despite a race retirement, while teammate and British compatriot Lewis Hamilton led the championship with a resurgent Mark Webber a hair's breadth away in second.

Italy's woodland Monza circuit is, along with Spa in Belgium and the famous Monte Carlo track, one of the oldest Formula One tracks in use, dating back to the 1920s.

Race day tickets for the Sunday cost from €125 to €510, depending upon the seating selected, while hospitality options go up to the all-inclusive €1,622 Central Grandstand restaurant package for the weekend. Formula One offers a 3-Day Paddock Club pass for €3,059.

In Singapore, the Marina Bay Street Circuit also channels the spirit of Monaco with road racing that takes in a luxurious harbor location. Among a crop of newer tracks, like the Korean International Circuit and championship finale Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi, Marina Bay has quickly earned a reputation as one of the season's most demanding destinations.

Three-day passes there range from $298 Singaporean dollars (€172) down at the Bay Grandstand, to $3,745 SGD (€2,165) to reserve a place in the prestigious Stamford restaurant suite.

Following Monza and Marina Bay, Formula One heads to Japan and Korea in October, before Brazil's Autodromo on November 7 (previously named Interlagos) and Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi on November 14.

Further information about ticketing can be found at Formula1.com, MonzaNet.it, and SingaporeGP.sg.
