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 is one of life's little ironies that the best-selling Formula One guide is still an ITV publication despite the commercial channel ceding broadcasting rights to the BBC last season.
But grand prix racing is all about change, and a number of events overtook Bruce Jones even though he did not go to press until late December, rendering his profile of the now-in-limbo US F1 team and several of his driver line-ups redundant as the season gets up and running. But there's plenty to enjoy in this well-produced package, let down only by some sloppy proof-reading.
The chapter on the rule changes for 2010 manages to explain what effect they will have without getting bogged down in technicalities; the return of the legendary engine-builders Cosworth to F1 is given prominence; and the circuit-by-circuit survey, including the new South Korea track, is enhanced by decent graphics. There's little information that couldn't be found by hunting around the internet but Jones's observations on the grand prix scene are astute and the guide will be a lively companion for any armchair petrolhead.
