I interviewed Lando Norris and the world champion was open, honest and articulate. And then his management stepped in to police and muzzle him in an attempt to "control the narrative."
From then on it did not go too well....this is what happened.

Very envious, one of my favourite pubs, several of my good friends worked there during school/uni holidays.
Report from an extraordinary night in Munich, decided by brilliance and silliness. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Always grateful for the backing we are given to report the biggest stories, and games, from around Europe – and the incredibly hard work from those on desk to handle live copy filed, due to last-gasp twists, minutes before the newspaper deadline.

And it's an absolutely insane game.
This, too, is class.
Been coming here 20 years and it is still the best stadium built this century.
Very happy to see Ukraine's League of the Mighty, for amputees, win a gold in this year's UEFA grassroots awards. Remarkable initiative, run to an incredible standard, as I found out in Kyiv last year: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I was joking.
A tiny step too far for Kosovo against a professional Turkey, but their time will come: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Nobody who saw a slung-together Kosovo team train beneath the belching Obiliq power plants in 2014, before splashing through a first official game against Haiti, would believe they are on verge of World Cup now.

In next to no time Graham Potter has got Sweden looking like … Sweden. Report from Valencia: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
I was there too! Amazing occasion, wasn't it!
Just watched Sweden overpower Ukraine with a Gyokeres hat-trick (report coming up) but have to say I feel a little emotional that Kosovo, whose early years playing official games I covered in depth, are now a game from the World Cup. It's the story of the night.
Ukraine have spent four long, tough years on the road. Two wins here in Valencia at the World Cup play-offs would mean their journey has a crowning destination. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Thanks a lot Olly – both for reading it and for taking the time to write.
Politics and football don’t mix? Tell that to Ipswich’s players, who are not happy about Farage’s visit. What a mess, and many tough questions still to answer: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

So much good done by ITFC over the past five years and this can undo a huge amount of it, certainly in terms of wider perception - what a colossal error.
And should have seen it coming miles off.
“Football club is apolitical” simply doesn’t cut it when that football club has been naive enough to let a political party trample all over it for its own self-advertisement - anybody could have seen what Reform and Farage were going to pull at Ipswich & it appears they were hardly discouraged.
It is to Raheem Sterling's credit that he chose Feyenoord – a club steeped in history and meaning who play for real things under a harsh, relentless glare. But a flop in De Klassieker against Ajax underlined the risk both parties are taking. Piece from Rotterdam: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Raheem Sterling watch lasted, errrm, 55 minutes. Never got in into it, an Ajax side barely worthy of the name now ahead in a horrible, attritional game.
European football.
