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.

David Coulthard declared himself happy after testing his McLaren car at Estoril in Portugal yesterday. Coulthard was testing new components on last year's chassis with Alain Prost, who has been contracted as technical advisor to the McLaren team for this season.

The world champion, Colin McRae, was yesterday confirmed as part of the three-man 555 Subaru team for 1996. The Scot was named alongside Sweden's Kenneth Eriksson and Piero Liatti, of Italy, when the team ended weeks of speculation by announcing their line-up.
