Sports Letters: Backward step
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.Sir: In what has been a month of tragedy and knee-jerk reactions in Formula One motor racing, press speculation regarding the possible return of Nigel Mansell to the Williams team as a replacement for the late Ayrton Senna serves as another example of the disarray Formula One finds itself.
It would appear that money, not sensible thinking, is in the driving seat of the top team's philosophy of their future in F1.
One must remember the less than amicable circumstances in which Mansell left Williams and Formula One, for a new career in IndyCar to which he has adapted with great success. The departure of Mansell, Prost and now Senna has caused F1 to change direction and in looking forward, I would think that Williams could better invest obviously available millions of pounds in car development and exploiting the talents of Damon Hill and David Coulthard rather than to lure back the past.
