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.FISA'S world council yesterday found virtue in compromise by confirming the ban on eletronic driver aids but deferring it until 1994. Active suspension and traction control will be banned next year along with the ABS braking system, geometry control and four-wheel steering. Semi-automatic gearboxes will be allowed.
Fisa's decision yesterday was a reversal of a move last month when they antagonised the dominant Williams-Renault and McLaren-Ford teams by attempting restrictions on technology in mid-season. All the Formula One teams agreed at a meeting in Hockenheim, Germany, two weeks ago only to accept technical changes from 1994.
On Monday, FIA, the parent organisation of Fisa, had agreed at its meeting in Paris to study compromise proposals put forward by the Formula One teams.
