Velasquez: “We have to make Levante uncomfortable”

coach of Real Zaragoza, Julio Velasquez, He suggested that Valencia’s team will have to be made “uncomfortable” against Levante next Wednesday.

“I value understanding the type of game the team has to play. Rivals are unpleasant That puts us in a position to win,” he said at a press conference.

The “Blanquillos” coach explained that a win ahead of the Christmas break would be “fantastic” due to the fact that he could do it at home and in front of his own fans.

“Going into the Christmas break with a victory against an important team is not the same as going into the Christmas break with a different result,” stressed the Aragon team coach.

He also believes that last Sunday’s draw at Amorebieta Field is not a step backwards.

“It was a top-class game. They were comfortable in the first few minutes while we weren’t adjusting. We didn’t get in very well and had to readjust. In the second half we were in a much better position. “We got better and got to the point where we could have won or lost,” he analyzed.

In this regard, he added that a positive aspect was that the team had the ability to resolve the situation in a difficult situation.

“It wasn’t a game that I enjoyed or felt comfortable in. We were looking for a win, but in this type of game where you’re deadlocked from the beginning, it’s better not to lose. And now against Levante, it’s important to win,” he said. Told.apostilled

Velasquez analyzes two of his most controversial plays A penalty for handball by Amorebieta in the match was not signaled and not reviewed by VAR. Entrance to Michael Mesa It could have been a red card. “In either case, it happens and it limits you, but it’s no excuse.”

The Real Zaragoza coach stressed that against Levante they must try to avoid a repeat of the start of the game as they did against Amorebieta, and also emphasized “the team’s ability to react in order to score points.”

Zaragoza’s coach explained that they approached every game with “the utmost enthusiasm and professionalism” to give their best version and were optimistic about the future.

“We are on the right track, growing and evolving, and we are in a position to win games.”

“We will be left behind.” Verstappen won’t like Red Bull’s situation

Red Bull Formula 1 team president Laurent Mekies believes the Bulls will be behind their rivals at the start of the 2026 season, given the production of their engines and new aerodynamic rules.

“We know it will be difficult for us, especially at the beginning of the season. I think we will fall behind our rivals, but we need to hold on for a few more months.”

“I hope we come back to the top, but it would be naive to think that Red Bull will be ahead right away. We will be behind at the start,” said Mekis.

Bulls will produce its engines in collaboration with Ford from 2026.

Red Bull finally decides on Verstappen’s team

After several significant personnel changes in the team, Max Verstappen has finally learned who he will be working with in the Red Bull pits for the new season.

At the end of last year, it became known that three key members of the four-time world champion’s headquarters had left. According to De Telegraaf, Jeff Ayton replaced Verstappen’s vehicle control engineer Michael Manning, who left the team after the 2025 season. He has previously worked with other Red Bull drivers and worked temporarily with Verstappen in Manning’s absence last year.

Verstappen’s former engine mechanic David Mart has moved to Audi and his replacement at Red Bull has not yet been determined. Performance engineer Tom Hart is also leaving the team; He will join Williams but will continue to work with the Milton Keynes-based team for a while.

Changes also occurred among mechanics. After Matt Culler moved to the position of Audi’s chief mechanic, Verstappen was replaced as his first mechanic by his twin brother John Culler. He is well known to Max, who has previously held a similar position on the other side of the Red Bull pits, working alongside Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda.

Despite rumors about the winter break, Gianpiero Lambiase will remain Verstappen’s race engineer for another season.

Ferrari will have a red-white livery. Images of the Scuderia jersey have been revealed

Photos of the allegedly leaked Ferrari F1 team jerseys for the 2026 season have appeared on the internet.

The published photos show a red T-shirt with white inserts.

Ferrari will officially announce its color on January 23. At the same time, some sources reported that the design of the 2026 car should be “pleasantly surprising”.

Given that Ferrari and other teams have used darker shades of their primary colors (red in the Scuderia’s case) in recent years, the introduction of red and white team uniforms could signal a move towards a lighter color scheme.

The same idea is put forward in a video published on the Scuderia’s official account.
