I can see how it warps the mind, the perception of the world and our place in it. Power is enticing. Like Lewis Hamilton? You can eat steaks that cost the same as your electricity bill and meet him again. You, too, can bask in the balding aura of Prince Harry and the fake glow of Instagram models. Any wealth and status you lack, you can perform. What I received wasn't a crash course in Formula 1—in fact, Formula 1 only became more mystifying to me—but journalism, as viewed by the other side. The great irony of the other side is that they need journalism. The petrochemical companies, deeply powerful institutions, need journalists to write about all the things they attach themselves to that are not being a petrochemical company. Formula 1, on a rapacious tangent for growth and new markets, needs journalists to spread the good word of the richest sport in the world. Unfortunately for the other side, journalism still remains a double-edged sword.

EWAN MITCHELL TALKING ABOUT MATT SMITH:
He used to watch Doctor Who with his grandmother.
Idolising Smith-as-the-Doctor turned out to be very useful for playing Aemond, who idolises Smith-as-Daemon.
It is, admittedly, a complicated relationship: Aemond imitates, reveres and despises his uncle.
“I thought there was something interesting in never taking Matt off that podium.”
“I just kept him there, from where I saw him as a kid.”
He found it so interesting, in fact, that he spoke to showrunner Condal and proposed avoiding Smith on set so that the they would only ever interact in character. Smith was up for it.
There is a resemblance between the actors, something noted by his grandmother then and by me now.
ABOUT THE SCENE FROM EPISODE 8 SEASON 1:
“That was the first time I’d looked at Matt or Daemon for longer than three of four seconds.”
“It was lightning in a bottle.”
“We have these two sides of the family, so I don’t really see him.”
“There’s a romance to it in a weird way.”
