Points of athletic optimism
Valverde’s team were asked to hit the table at Valverde’s house to show their rivals, and themselves, that they were serious contenders for a European position at the end of the season. The red-white coach studied his rival well, correctly understood how to hurt him, and in the first half he was much better than Michel’s team.
And I’m not just talking about sensations, but about obvious “cod” events. The only thing missing was the success of playing with an advantage, and who knows if that could have changed the course of the game. Otherwise, we have no choice but to follow the red and white team. Girona also had some shots, but that’s to be expected against a revelation team in La Liga and in their own stadium.
Things changed in the second half, with the local team starting to take more control of the game. Both teams had options, but Montilivi’s team seemed to be improving. The Lions, who had believed they would turn the game around with Tsygankov’s goal, found themselves in a predicament. Another jubilant drive from Sunset and a killer finish from Iñaki Williams helped tie the game and justify the score.
As a result of the tie, Athletic believed in victory and outperformed their rivals. He stroked those three points. Girona certainly had chances in the final stages and anyone could have won, so from what we’ve seen so far a draw seems the fairest. According to the local coach, Athletic are the best team to have passed through the stadium in the competition so far, showing that the Rojiblancos are doing well in general.
This game was also a step forward in terms of game control and defensive solidity. It wasn’t perfect, but compared to the previous games against Celta, Villarreal and Valencia, the red and white teams showed improvement with the same squad.
Luque, the strongest defense
Paredes continues to play between the cottons and, despite some unforced errors, is doing very well alongside Vivian, who has appeared as a savior on several occasions. In any case, the best defender was once again Inigo Leque. His form, play and moments of concentration should be celebrated as much as they should be praised for him when he’s not doing well. He made no mistakes, covering the band and joining the attack. He looks energetic and has speed. He has gained confidence by playing regularly and it shows. I hope that continues.
When Athletic attack with ambition and without hesitation, the results will definitely follow. The evaluation of a match always depends on the result and we do not intend to fool ourselves, but the first half of Girona or Villarreal could be an ideal reference for the rest of the championship. The team has recently been more comfortable playing away than San Mamés.
So far, things seem to be going well, even without uncorking the champagne. Because there is a storm brewing in the team’s immediate future. Iñaki Williams’ departure for the African Cup, Nico’s renewal, injuries and attrition at centre-back. of the starting block. As you previously wrote in the report card, the horse is growing steadily. There are still midterm exams and of course final year in June.

Sergio Perez shared his feelings after his first trip to the track for the Cadillac team.
Just 10.5 months after receiving final approval from the FIA to become the 11th team in the championship, Perez found himself behind the wheel at the Silverstone circuit, where the car completed its first laps on the day of filming.
The team, wearing all black uniforms, confirmed that they carried out all system checks during the run.
“Today was truly an incredible day,” Perez said
Everyone should be proud as we completed our first tours as a team. Every member of the team worked on this moment and it was very emotional for me.
We can and should enjoy it, but it also gives us even more energy. I want to get behind the wheel as soon as possible; This is just the beginning.”
“This was a great opportunity for the team to get a feel for operating in a real garage environment, test the car’s systems and troubleshoot initial issues. But this is just the beginning of the journey. We are now focusing on pre-season testing in a few weeks, which will provide further learning opportunities.”

Red Bull engine director Ben Hodginson has commented on rumors of a possible loophole in the 2026 Formula 1 rules, stating that the team is operating on the verge of legality.
The Milton Keynes-based team is starting a new era in powertrain production with Ford in 2026, after ending its partnership with Honda. The new rules involve a complete reboot of engine regulations, giving a greater role to electric power and the use of sustainable combustion engine fuels.
There were rumors during the winter break that both Red Bull and Mercedes had found a loophole in the 2026 regulations regarding the geometric compression ratio. Other manufacturers, notably Audi, Honda and Ferrari, have asked the FIA to clarify this aspect of the rules. A meeting is planned between the FIA and Formula 1 Management to discuss possible loopholes and other regulation changes.
According to the information obtained, the alleged gap is related to the geometric compression ratio of the engines, which will decrease from 18:1 to 16:1 in 2026. Rumor has it that Red Bull and Mercedes have discovered a method that allows the compression ratio to remain at 16:1 when static, but increase to 18:1 during laps, which could add around 15 hp. and improve lap times.
Hodgkinson assured that the new Red Bull engine was legal, but the team, like others, was pushing it to its limits:
“I think there is some tension between the various powertrain manufacturers that there may be demanding engineering practices on some of the teams.” he said.
“To be honest, I’m not quite sure how much I’m going to listen to this. I’ve been doing this for a long time and it’s almost just noise. You really have to do your best in your own race.”
“I know what we’re doing, and I’m confident that what we’re doing is legal. Of course, we’ve reached the limit of what the rules allow. I’d be surprised if everyone didn’t do it.”
“To be honest, I don’t think it’s a big deal. I expect everyone to sit at 16, that’s really what I expect.”
The first pre-season testing will take place on January 26 in a five-day event at the Barcelona-Catalonia circuit.
